1. Current and future budget constraints will be taken into consideration when making all decisions on policy and partial tuition remissions.
2. To be eligible for the partial tuition waiver, an applicant must be in F-1 or J-1 status, an applicant for F-1 or J-1 status (outside the U.S.), or a citizen of the U.S. whose legal residence is outside the United States. Applicants for political asylum will be considered for the partial tuition waiver on a case-by-case basis.
3. Consideration will be given to distributing the partial tuition waivers among students from the widest possible variety of countries and as equitably as possible between males and females, graduates and undergraduates.
4. The partial tuition fee waiver will be awarded in two categories, i.e., undergraduate and graduate. Receipt of an undergraduate partial fee waiver in no way implies continuation of that waiver at the graduate level of education.
5. Partial fee waiver decisions will be made by the following:
• New and continuing undergraduates: International Student Advisor
• New and continuing graduate students: Director of Graduate Studies in consultation with International Student Services
6. The decision to grant a partial tuition waiver to a new or transfer student will be based on:
• Financial need
• Academic achievement (new students: admission in good standing, continuing students; minimum 3.00 grade point average or equivalent)
7. International students who were admitted without a partial tuition waiver and request a partial fee waiver as a continuing student must:
• Complete one full semester in full-time status before applying for the partial waiver
• Earn a minimum 3.00 grade point average
• Update a completed “Declaration of Finances” on file
• Prove financial need by demonstrating a substantial change in financial support from the time of admission to the university to the time of application
8. Continuing undergraduate student fee waiver recipients must meet all of the following requirements for continuation of the partial fee waiver in future semesters:
• Enroll in and successfully complete a minimum of 12 credits each semester
• Maintain a minimum 2.00 gpa for each semester
• Maintain the following minimum cumulative gpa each semester
Freshman (0-29 credits earned) 2.00
Sophomore (30-59 credits earned) 2.25
Junior (60-89 credits earned) 2.5
Senior (90 + credits earned) 2.50
9. Continuing graduate student fee waiver recipients must meet all of the following requirements for the continuation of the partial fee waiver in future semesters:
• Maintain full-time status - Enroll in 9 graduate credits per semester or 6 credits if a graduate assistant.
• Maintain a minimum 3.00 cumulative graduate grade point average
Exceptions to the full-time status provision may be granted in the last semester if degree requirements can be met with less than a full-time course enrollment. This and any other requests for an exception to the full-time status provision of the tuition waiver must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies and authorized by International Student Services.
10. An undergraduate partial tuition waiver recipient is eligible for the partial tuition waiver to cover coursework leading toward the completion of their degree, but for no additional undergraduate coursework after the undergraduate degree has been completed, unless the courses lead toward completion of a graduate program. The same applies to graduate students.
11. A partial tuition waiver recipient will not be eligible for the partial waiver for a second degree at the same educational level.
12. An applicant who has earned an undergraduate or graduate degree in the United States will not be eligible for the partial tuition waiver for the same educational level at UW Oshkosh.
13. International students sponsored with grants from their home governments are ineligible for the partial fee waiver. Those receiving government loans will be considered on an individual basis.
14. Undergraduate fee waiver recipients who have earned a total of 120 credits must justify continuation of the award to cover credits beyond that point. A letter of explanation from the student’s academic advisor may be required.
15. Fee waiver recipients who fail to meet minimum requirements for continuation of the award may be granted the award on a probationary basis in the following semester. Failure to meet the minimum requirements in a second consecutive semester likely will result in the loss of the waiver.
16. The student whose waiver has been rescinded is eligible for reinstatement of the waiver in the semester immediately following the semester in which minimum requirements are met.
17. Eligibility for a partial fee waiver will be permanently revoked following the second time the waiver has been rescinded.
18. Any tuition waiver above the amount of out-of-state tuition, up to a full tuition waiver, can be recommended by the members of the International Student Fee Waiver Committee and other interested parties to the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh or his designee for approval.
19. Full tuition waiver awards shall be limited to a maximum of 15 students (30 student semester awards) per year or a maximum total award amount of $150,000 per year, whichever is greater.
