AB 160

This bill requires segregated fees charged to part-time students at University

of Wisconsin System schools to be calculated on a per credit basis.

Under current law, the Board of Regents of the UW System may establish fees

incidental to enrollment in educational programs or use of system facilities. In

addition to academic fees or nonresident tuition, the Board of Regents may charge

students segregated fees. The segregated fees applicable at each UW school must be

posted on the school's Internet site along with detailed information on the

organizations and activities for which certain segregated fees are expended, and

each student's bill for a semester or session must list the amount assessed against

the student for segregated fees separately from the amount assessed for academic

fees or nonresident tuition. Segregated fees may be used only for the purpose for

which they are charged.

This bill requires that the amount of segregated fees assessed against

part-time students (those enrolled for fewer than 12 academic credits in a semester

or session) at UW schools be calculated on a per credit basis.
