The UW System Board of Regents has approved waiving electronic application fees at 10 of its 13 universities, including ºÚÁÏ¿Æ, for approximately the next two years.
The no-cost EApp will save students $25 per application, providing them economic relief amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The new policy would take effect immediately at all universities except UW-Eau Claire, UW-La Crosse and UW-Madison, although those universities would be able to waive fees if students meet financial hardship criteria.

The Board of Regents vote comes after numerous universities waived fees this fall and recognized an increase in the number of applications. Initial data suggests that fee waiver campaigns have led to an increase in the number of students applying to a UW System university and the overall number of applications submitted.
The UW System serves approximately 165,000 students and awards nearly 37,000 degrees annually.
