UW-Stevens Point, UW-Stout and UW-Whitewater. If the campus to which
you are applying participates in this program and you are admitted, you

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (contin-
ued from p. 1)
Wisconsin Covenant (5b): This program was designed to encour-
age Wisconsin youth to pursue an educational path that will lead to
higher
z
education. Most students sign the WisconsinCovenant "Pledge"
in 8th
grade. For more information on the Wisconsin Covenant, visit
wisconsinscovenant.wi.gov.
Semester/Term You Plan to Enter (20): If you plan to enter a UW
System institution during an interim term, check other and indicate year.
Contact the campus you plan to enter for specific information regarding
availability, dates and admission process.
RESIDENCY INSTRUCTIONS
Wisconsin Statutes, Section 36.27(2), govern resident status for
tuition purposes. If you do not qualify as a Wisconsin resident, in most
cases your tuition will be assessed at the significantly higher out-of-state
rate. In determining resident status for tuition purposes, different stan-
dards are used than those which may be used for voting, paying taxes,
etc. Individuals who come to Wisconsin primarily for educational pur-
poses do not automatically qualify as Wisconsin residents for tuition pur-
poses even after living in Wisconsin a year or more. You may be asked to
provide further information related to a determination of resident status
for tuition purposes.
In general, you must be a bona fide resident of Wisconsin for at least
12 months prior to enrollment to be eligible for in-state tuition, but there
are some exceptions:
1. If you graduated from a Wisconsin high school and your parent(s)
lived continuously and only in Wisconsin for the 12 months prior to enroll-
ment, you may qualify as a Wisconsin resident. Complete all parts of
Section 7 of the application form and your status will be determined.
2. If one of your parents lives in Wisconsin and you are a tax depen-
dent of your parents, or if you are a refugee who came to Wisconsin
immediately upon entering the United States, you may be able to pay
fees and tuition at the resident rate. You may also qualify for the resident
rate if you are a member of the Armed Forces stationed in Wisconsin,
a migrant worker who has worked in Wisconsin annually, or the spouse
or child of a person in one of these categories. If you believe you qualify
under one of these categories, contact the campus to which you are
applying for information about Wisconsin Statutes 36.27(2).
3. If you, your spouse, or someone who claims you as a tax depen-
dent has relocated to Wisconsin for full-time continuous employment
with a current employer, or has accepted new full-time employment with
current employer before moving to Wisconsin and before applying for
admission to a UW System institution, if that employment has begun
before your term of enrollment and continues full-time with the same
employer, you may qualify as a resident for tuition purposes if you intend
to establish and maintain a permanent home in Wisconsin. You will be
contacted for additional information.
4. If you are unsure whether you qualify for resident tuition under
any of these provisions, contact the institution to which you are applying
for more information.
Minnesota Residents: You may be eligible to participate in the
Wisconsin/Minnesota tuition reciprocity program. Contact the Office
of Higher Education, 1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 350, St. Paul,
MN 55108-5227 (651-642-0567 or 1-800-657-3866); or visit their
website at www.getreadyforcollege.org for more information. On this
application, you should not claim legal Wisconsin residence. You
will be classified as a nonresident at the institution where you enroll.
To expedite verification please provide your Social Security Number or
Tax Payer Identification Number.
ADDITIONAL UW SYSTEM INFORMATION
Financial Aid: You may submit an application for financial aid after
January 1 of the year in which you wish to enroll (for fall semester appli-
cants). Most institutions have financial aid priority dates or deadlines,
so it is generally to your advantage to apply as soon as possible after
January 1. A financial aid application form and information concerning
the application process may be obtained from your high school coun-
selor or from the financial aid office of the institution(s) to which you are
applying. To access the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
visit www.fafsa.gov. If applying for spring or summer semester enroll-
ment, consult the individual institution for information about appropri-
ate deadlines. Note that you must provide your Social Security Number
or Tax Payer Identification Number on your application if you intend to
apply for financial aid. Applying for financial aid will have no bearing on
an admission decision.
On-Campus Housing: Since demand for student housing exceeds
availability at many institutions, it is important to apply for housing as
early as possible. Most UW System institutions automatically furnish
housing information and materials to each applicant admitted. UW-Mad-
ison sends a housing contract to admitted students for the fall semester
as long as space remains available; however, students interested in living
on campus beginning in the spring semester must submit a separate
housing application available by writing or calling the University Housing
Office. Students wishing to live on campus at UW-Barron, UW-Fox Valley,
UW-Marathon, UW-Marinette, or UW-Richland should request an applica-
tion from the Student Services Office.
Equal Opportunity: The UW System is committed to equal oppor-
tunity for all. No student may be denied admission to, participation in
or the benefits of, or be discriminated against in any service, program,
course or facility of the system or its institutions because of the student's
race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, disability, ancestry, age,
sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital status or parental status.
Inquiries concerning compliance with the requirements of Title IX,
referring to equal opportunity regardless of sex may be directed to the
UW System Office of Human Resources and Workforce Diversity, 1570
Van Hise Hall, 1220 Linden Dr., Madison, WI 53706 (608-262-5504).
Inquiries pertaining to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability may be
addressed to the Office of the Chancellor of any UW System institution.
Use and Disclosure of Racial/Ethnic Information: The U.S. Depart-
ment of Education requires the University to report the number of stu-
dents in various racial/ethnic categories. Your cooperation in furnishing
accurate information will be appreciated.
Racial/ethnic heritage information will be treated as confidential
and will not appear on academic records, grade reports, class lists or
transcripts. Individual student racial/ethnic information will be released
only with the student’s consent or as otherwise required or permitted
by law.
Use and Disclosure of Social Security or Other Taxpayer Identifica-
tion Number: Federal law allows the University to request and use your
Social Security or other Taxpayer Identification Number (SSN or TIN) for
routine record keeping, institutional statistics and research, and compli-
ance with Federal and State reporting requirements. Although provid-
ing the SSN or TIN is not required for admission to the University, it is
required for financial aid and ensures that you will be able to claim the
new educational tax benefits, if eligible, on your federal tax return. The
University may use the SSN or TIN for billing and collection efforts, finan-
cial aid, internal verification and administrative purposes.
The SSN or TIN is protected under the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 (5
U.S.C. 552a) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Requesting Disability-Related Accommodations and Services: To
receive information about disability-related services, including accom-
modations and academic adjustments, contact the Office of Services
for Students with Disabilities at the institution to which you are applying.
It is recommended that requests for disability-related services be made
as soon as possible.
Services for Veterans: For the purpose of this application only, a
veteran is a former or current member of the United States Military. Vet-
erans no longer serving need to have been discharged in good standing.
Eligibility for benefits or services will vary based upon the individual's
specific level of service. Please note that other agencies or applications
may use a different definition to establish veteran status.
UW System institutions are approved to offer veterans’ educational
benefits under programs provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs and the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs. There are also
programs and benefits that provide services to spouses and children of
those who have or are currently serving in the U.S. Military.
For information on veterans’ educational benefits, contact the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs Education Service at 800-827-1000 or
visit their website at www.gibill.va.gov. Information on Wisconsin state
benefits is available from the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs:
call 800-947-8387 or visit their website at dva.state.wi.us/Ben-educa-
tion.asp. The names and phone numbers of veterans affairs coordinators
for each UW System institution can be found in the UW HELP website at
