Student Location Policy

For purposes of federal regulations, , a student enrolled in a Ӱ degree program is determined to be located in the state of Wisconsin if any of the following are true:

  1. The student is living in campus housing offered through the Office of Residence Life in their first term of enrollment in their program.  This includes admitted students with an active housing application on file for their first term of enrollment.
  2. The student is enrolled in a campus-based program in which on-campus coursework is required in the initial semester.
  3. The student has a “Current Address” in the student information system that is located in the state of Wisconsin at the time of registration in their initial semester of enrollment in their program.

If none of the above criteria are true, the student’s location will be determined by the state or territory listed on their “Current Address” in the student information system at the point of initial enrollment in their program.  The point of initial enrollment is defined as the first day of the first semester session in which a student is registered for coursework in their program.
