The due date for tuition, fees, and any applicable Flex Check-Ins (FCI) for all UW Flexible Option programs* is due 11:59 p.m. Central Time of 10th day of the first month of each new subscription period (e.g., January 11 by 11:59 p.m. for a January subscription period). All financial obligations must be paid by the end of the 10th day (e.g., January 11 by 11:59 p.m.) to avoid cancellation of registration. Students receiving financial aid are responsible for any tuition balance which exceeds their financial aid; any outstanding account balance must be received by the 10th day of the first month of your subscription period. If you fail to pay your account balance by the due date, you will be administratively withdrawn from your coursework, assessed a $50 fee, and will have to defer to another subscription period to resume your studies. For information on how to access your bill and make a payment, click on your home institution below. *For the Substance Use Disorders Counselor certificate program, payment is due upon registration. Students who withdraw from a UW Flexible Option program* prior to or within ten days of the start of the subscription period are refunded all (100%) tuition. Students who withdraw between the 11th and 20th day of the subscription period are eligible for a 50% tuition refund. Students who withdraw on or after the 21st day of the subscription period are not eligible for a tuition refund. After the 11th day of the subscription period, students enrolled in an All-You-Can-Learn subscription who withdraw, or are withdrawn, from one or more competency sets resulting in the student being enrolled in only one competency set, will remain in the All-You-Can-Learn subscription level and will not be eligible for a refund. Because impacted students will remain All-You-Can-Learn students, they may add additional competency sets throughout their subscription period. Note: A student may not re-register for the same competency set(s) from which he or she was administratively withdrawn until the next subscription period. The non-credit Substance Use Disorders Counselor Certificate program follows a different refund policy.

Consortium Agreement
The UW Colleges Flexible Option Associate of Arts and Science (AAS) degree direct-assessment program received approval for Title IV eligibility on August 28, 2014. The UW Colleges AAS degree program is similar to the direct-assessment programs offered by UW-Milwaukee in administrative structure, curricular oversight, and financial aid administration. These programs share the same academic year definition, non-term structure, and similar Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) methodology and policies.
Students have the ability to pursue General Education requirements at UW Colleges through their direct-assessment offerings while admitted to a UW-Milwaukee direct-assessment program. Only UW Colleges competency sets that apply toward remaining UW-Milwaukee certificate or degree program requirements will be factored into a student’s aid eligibility. UW-Milwaukee and UW Colleges will enter into a consortium agreement for this purpose.
UW-Milwaukee will act as the home school and maintain responsibility for calculating financial aid awards, disbursing aid, monitoring SAP and other eligibility requirements, and returning funds when a student withdraws. UW-Milwaukee, UW Colleges, and UW-Extension work collaboratively in all UW Flexible Option programs to facilitate the effective financial aid administration and execution of the consortium agreement(s).
