Non-resident Tuition Remission for Domestic Partners and Their Dependents
Fall, 2004
Policy Statement
An individual who moves to Wisconsin as a result of his/her domestic partner's full-time employment at the UW-Madison, or an individual who is a dependent of someone who moved to Wisconsin as a result of his/her domestic partner's full-time employment at the UW-Madison, may be eligible for up to a one-year remission of non-resident tuition. After one year of residence within the state of Wisconsin and after it is determined that the individual did not move here for educational purposes, the individual would be eligible to apply for in-state tuition under Wisconsin Statute 36.27(2).
