Relating to: course fees at University of Wisconsin System institutions. (FE)

SB 532 prohibits University of Wisconsin System institutions from charging students supplemental fees for enrolling in courses offered exclusively online, unless the fee covers specific costs directly tied to online delivery (like technology or platform costs) or is also charged for equivalent in-person courses. It directly affects students taking fully online courses, particularly non-resident students who might face higher fees. The bill creates a new requirement (36.27 (1) (c)) ensuring online course fees are justified by actual costs or applied equally to in-person options. The law takes effect for the first semester or session beginning at least 30 days after its effective date.
