Special Course Fees are charges in addition to the regular instructional fee, segregated fees and tuition. These fees are assessed to all students in the given course, or collected from individual students based on student-exercised options.

Some examples of situations when Special Course Fees may be charged are: for materials that result in a tangible product (such as an artistic work) that is retained by the student in a credit course; for transportation and admission costs incurred on field trips required in credit course instruction; or for extensive instructional handout materials that are clearly a replacement for a principal (student-purchased) textbook.

Special Course Fee requirements are listed with other individual course information in the Timetable and online. The University of Wisconsin System financial and administrative policy G29 on Special Course Fees may be found at www.uwsa.edu/fadmin/gapp/gapp29.htm.
