How it works

For University of Wisconsin schools including UW–Madison, tuition is determined by the UW System Board of Regents, based on budgets approved by the Wisconsin governor and legislature. The Madison Budget Office determines the rates for each academic program at UW–Madison.

Fall and Spring term rates are set in late July or early August, and the workbook is updated as soon as possible after that. Rates for the Summer Term are usually posted in late March.

You can review the cost of courses by visiting and viewing the Tuition Rates Workbook.
