UW Stevens Point students turned out in big numbers to vote in differential tuition for their campus, but the process isn't quite over yet.

Katie Cronmiller is the UWSP Student Government Association President. Cronmiller says 62 percent of the 3,309 votes, or nearly 2,050 students support paying about $200 dollars more each semester. The additional fee would be used exclusively for adding academic advisers and instructors in high-demand required courses and prevent students from returning for a fifth year to complete their degrees.

Cronmiller says they must now get ready to present their differential tuition plan to the Board of Regents. "Our next step is going to be going to the Board of Regents meeting in December to propose our differential tuition plan to them for final approval, and if they approve it in December, we will take next semester on campus to kind of get everything set up, get everything in place, and then it would start, really, in fall of 2016."
