TUITION All tuition is subject to change by the Minnesota State College and University Board. Current tuition rates can be found at www.winona.edu/billing/FeeInformation.htm.
Estimated Fees Possible fees an individual student may be charged are as follows. (NOTE: All fees are subject to change.)
Application Fee A nonrefundable fee of $20 is required with any application for admission. Students who have previously been admitted to WSU and paid the application fee are not subject to this fee when they return to WSU.
Athletics Fee The athletics fee is assessed to all students attending classes through the Winona and Rochester campuses. A committee consisting of members of the student senate and university administration determines the rates and the distribution of funds.
Course Fees Course fees are assessed to all students attending courses that have additional course fees indicated in the class schedule. Rates are determined by the department chairperson and approved by the Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Departments use course fees to pay for costs not normally incurred in everyday instruction, (e.g., greens fees for a golfing course or a transportation fee for courses with a field trip component).
Health Service Fee The health service fee is assessed to all students attending classes through the Winona campuses. A committee consisting of members of the student senate and university administration determines the rates and the distribution of funds.
Incidental Fees Several small fees arise from other noncourse related matters such as health service, credit by exam fees, ID card replacement fees, parking permits, and library fines.
Insurance Health insurance is available to all fulltime students. Further details are available in the Counseling Center (Gildemeister Hall, Room 132).
Late Payment Fee Payment in full for all tuition and fees must be paid by the payment due date indicated in the current class schedule located at www.winona.edu/classschedule . Any payment accepted after the payment due date will be assessed a late fee of $30.00.
Students are expected to pay all accounts to the University when they are due. Failure to receive a fee statement does not release the student from payment obligations. The University is authorized to withhold the issuance of diplomas and official transcripts of credits and to deny students further registration until all moneys due the University have been paid.
MSUSA Fee The MSUSA Fee is assessed to all students attending classes for college credit. The rates are determined by the Minnesota State University Student Association (MNUSA) and the state board office. Funds are used by the Minnesota State University Student Association.
Student Life Fee The student life fee is assessed to all students attending classes through the Winona and Rochester campuses. A committee consisting of members of the student senate and university administration determines the rates and distribution of funds. Areas receiving funds include the student senate, university clubs, and the Winonan.
Technology Fee The technology fee is assessed to all students attending classes for credit. The rate is determined by the university administration, and funds are used to support the student computer labs and academic computer services.
Union Facility Fee The Union Facility Fee is assessed to all students attending classes through the Winona campus. The rate is determined by the university administration, and the state board office. Funds are used to finance the construction, maintenance, and daily operation of the student union building.
REFUND POLICY If a student's course schedule is reduced for the convenience of the University, the tuition shall be adjusted without penalty. Students dropping classes must inform the Registrar's Office using the official drop procedures.
A student who withdraws from the University should obtain Application for Refund form from the Registrar's Office, Room 114, Somsen Hall. Students dropping classes must inform the Registrar's Office using the official drop procedures. Students who withdraw from the University or who drop one or more credits will receive a tuition refund according to the refund schedule below; refunds on activity fees will be calculated on the same basis as tuition.
Refunds are not given for textbooks and materials. Used books may be sold at the University Bookstore during the last week of each term.

RESIDENT STATUS As a stateassisted institution, Winona State University's primary function is making higher education available to residents of Minnesota. A higher tuition rate, therefore, is charged to residents of other states or nations. Students can get information about regulations and criteria that determine their residence status from the Office of Admissions (Somsen Hall, Room 106).
If a student is initially classified as a nonresident but believes that he/she has achieved residency, the student can request a change of status by filing a State of Residence form with the Office of Admissions.
Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota Tuition Reciprocity |Undergraduate or graduate students who live in Wisconsin, North Dakota, or South Dakota can submit the Student Application for Resident Fee Status form, which provides them with a tuition rate similar to what their home state charges. All high schools in Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota have the necessary form; the form is also available from the Office of Admissions or the Graduate Office (Somsen Hall, Room 114). Approval is granted for one year and is effective as long as the student is enrolled each semester (summer sessions are excluded). Students must reapply for reciprocity tuition if they leave WSU for more than one academic year.
Midwest Student Exchange Program: Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Nebraska For students who are residents of Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, or Nebraska, the tuition rate is 150% of the resident rate.
