Tuition Variance

Tuition Variance Committee

Purpose:  The purpose of the Tuition Variance Committee is to allow appeals for those students having extenuating circumstances they believe warrant a tuition or refund exception to the existing policy.

 

Procedure:  Students submit appeal in writing to the Student Accounts Office, addressed to the Tuition Variance Committee. The committee will then discuss the appeal to determine whether any tuition adjustment should be considered. The appeal should include as much detail as possible and also include any documentation that would help verify the facts in the appeal. It should also include a proposed fair financial resolution. For details please refer to the Tuition and Fees section on the Financial Services webpage on MSOE's website. All appeal letters must be submitted in writing and mailed to:

 

MSOE, Student Accounts Office
Attn:  Tuition
Variance Committee
1025 N. Broadway
Milwaukee, WI  53202
