While attending UWSP, circumstances may arise that require a student to withdraw from the university. Student withdrawing during the winterim are responsible for following the official cancellation and withdrawal guidelines of the University.

If you are not enrolled for the fall term, you may register by mail

be date stamped and processed in the order it was received beginning
the first week in December. You will be sent a confirmation of your
registration. You may also stop in the Registration and Records
Office anytime between 7:45 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., except on weekends
and holidays. Walk-in registrations will be processed according to
the same guidelines as indicated above.
REGISTRATION DEPOSIT
A $100 registration deposit is required prior to registering for the
Winterim Session. The deposit is required whether you register on
the web, in-person or by mail. NOTE: If you are also registering for
spring semester, a second $100 deposit ($200 total) is required.
1. Pay your deposit in person at the UWSP Bursar's Office, Room
007, SSB, or
2. Pay on-line by credit card at
http://www.uwsp.edu/billpay,
or
3. Send your payment to: UWSP Bursar's Office, 2100 Main St,
Stevens Point WI 54481.
The deposit for winterim is refundable provided a written
cancellation is received in the Registration and Records Office on
or before December 21.
Winterim fees will be billed along with your spring semester
bill. Full payment of Winterim fees must be received in the Bursar's
Office by January 23, 2009 to avoid finance charges.
Any Winterim fees
that are not paid in full by the January
23rd due date will be charged
finance charges assessed from the first day of the spring term,
January 20, 2009. Total Winterim fees plus a minimum payment
of fifty percent (50%) of spring semester fees will be due by
February 20, 2009.
Refunds will be prorated based on the date of course withdrawal. No
refunds will be issued for withdrawals after January 5th. There are
some special course fees beyond tuition due to the extra expense of
offering the course. Such fees are noted in the course schedule and
are not refunded after the first day of class. Additional fee
information can be found at:
http://www.uwsp.edu/admin/busaffairs/ar/tuitionrates.aspx.
Final examinations will normally be the last day of classes or as
otherwise determined by the instructor.
There is no special financial aid for Winterim. Upon request,
tuition and fee expenses related to this session will be added to
your academic year cost for aid determination purposes. Typically,
it will not be possible to increase financial aid to cover these
additional costs (no grants are available for this), although an
additional Stafford loan may be arranged in cases where the maximum
loan has not already been secured. If you have not received the
maximum academic year loan already, you may meet with a financial
aid adviser to determine how much additional loan award is possible
for enrollment in Winterim. For more information on Financial Aid,
go to
http://www.uwsp.edu/finance/.
The Winterim is a separate session. The credits for which you
enroll will not count toward determining your enrollment status for
either the fall or spring terms. Also, Winterim grades will not be
used in determining your fall or spring semester GPA. Winterim
grades can be used to improve your academic standing but you can not
be placed on academic probation or suspension as a result of your
Winterim grades. To view your grade report, go to
https://mypoint.uwsp.edu/grades.
University housing is available on a limited basis for $12.00/evening for the Winterim period. Contact Residential Living (346-3511) for additional information and reservation materials. Assignment location will be based upon the number of students participating in Winterim and in our traditional interim break housing.
As a general rule, you should plan to carry no more than one (1) credit per week of instruction.
If you purchased a parking permit for the school year, your
permit is valid during the Winterim Session. If you do not have a
permit, you may purchase one for the three week Winterim for $22.90.
Parking is also available in metered lots. For more information on
parking, go to
http://www.uwsp.edu/parking/.
Text Rental is a unique service available to undergraduate
students at UWSP. It is a rental library system where students check
out most of their course books and return them at the end of the
term. The rental fee is included in tuition.
Winterim rental book checkout is available the first day of class
and all rental books are due back by the LAST day of class.
Students NOT returning rental books by the last day of class will be
billed for the books and assessed a $3.00 processing fee. (You then
own the books.) The University Store and Text Rental Winterim hours
are Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. A UWSP PointCard and
enrollment are required for all rental textbook processing. For more
information on Text Rental, go to
http://www.uwsp.edu/textrental.
Classes are rarely canceled due to weather. Use your best judgment if traveling to class. Contact the department of the course for the status of individual classes. All classes will continue to meet during the Winterim unless precluded by extremely severe weather in which case the Chancellor's Office will issue instructions.
