Segregated Fees

Segregated fees are charges, in addition to instructional fees, assessed to all students for services, programs, and facilities that support the mission of the University of Wisconsin. Segregated fees are divided into allocable and non-allocable. The allocable portion of segregated fees supports mainly student-organized activities, such as student government or student organizations. The non-allocable portion provides the main support for student-services operations and facilities, such as student health services or student centers. Students have the primary responsibility for the formulation of allocable segregated fee budgets, in consultation with the chancellor and subject to final confirmation by the Wisconsin Board Regents. Final recommendations on non-allocable budgets rest with campus administration, although students have the opportunity to participate in the review process.

The following is a summary of the reference letter from your University bill, the actual seg fee, the per-semester amount, and a description of each seg fee account. Organized Activities, Shared Governance, and the Intramural seg fee are allocable seg fees, while the remaining are non-allocable. Please note that the Intramural Complex fee, the ID Card Office fee, and the Health fee are all per person, while the remaining fees are based on credit hours taken, with 8 credits considered to be a full load for seg fee calculation. Also, since graduate students do not use Textbook services, there is no Textbook seg fee for them.
