University of Wisconsin System

doubt this situation sounds familiar -- bottleneck courses and consistent advising are big issues at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point. Pointer Partnership, a differential tuition proposal, is UWSP’s solution to the issue with bottleneck courses and the lack of consistent advising. Differential tuition is a separate fee from the base tuition on campus. The base tuition for each university is set by the Board of Regents and is collected by the UW system. Only a certain percentage of this tuition money is actually redirected to each campus throughout the UW system. Differential tuition is an additional fee for students for the sole purpose to stay on campus and fund programs that are necessary for students. The cost of differential tuition around the UW system can range from 643.20 dollars per year (UW La Crosse) to 59.88 dollars per year (UW Platteville).

Some schools, like the University of Wisconsin – Madison, have a differential tuition for certain programs like the College of Business and the College of Engineering. Other schools like the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee has differential tuition based on how many credits each student is enrolled in for certain programs. Pointer Partnership compared to other colleges in the UW system is reasonable, cost wise -- it would be approximately 200 dollars per semester added to each…
