GENERAL INFORMATION
The total cost of earning your degree at a distance from UW-Platteville will vary with each program. Once you have received your credit evaluation and admissions notification, you can estimate the amount of money it will take to pay the tuition and fees associated with your program, based on the number of credits you need to earn. It is advisable to budget at least $100 per course for textbooks that you will need to purchase.

There are several avenues for receiving financial assistance to pay for tuition and fees associated with your degree program. On this page, you will find information about state and federal financial aid, state and federal veteran's benefits, union/company assistance, and scholarships. Please read this information carefully and contact the appropriate people and/or resources to further research the various methods of receiving assistance.

Federal and State Financial Aid

Financial aid is a complex area within student services that requires a great deal of specialized knowledge and information. Your individual consultation with the Financial Aid Office will be essential for you to understand the implications and proper procedures or options available to you.

If you are admitted to a degree program (matriculated), you may qualify for federal and/or state financial aid, including loans and grants (for undergraduate students). Eligibility for grants and/or loans will be determined after you have completed the U.S. Department of Education's online financial aid application at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov or you may request a paper application from the Financial Aid Office. The earlier in the calendar year that you apply for financial aid, the better chance you have of receiving aid. Financial aid monies do run out.

The process of determining whether you qualify for financial aid takes approximately eight weeks. For a preliminary estimate, you may use the Financial Aid Estimator at http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml.

To receive financial aid forms or to have financial aid questions answered, contact:

Financial Aid Office
204 Brigham Hall
University of Wisconsin-Platteville

Platteville, WI 53818-3099
Phone (608) 342-1836
In all correspondence with the Financial Aid Office, be sure to indicate that you are taking classes at a distance.

Further information about financial aid can be found at the UW-Platteville Financial Aid Office website: http://www.uwplatt.edu/finaid/
