University of Wisconsin-Platteville

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Wisconsin-Platteville?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $8,644 for Wisconsin residents and $18,438 for out-of-state students. Those figures combine tuition with mandatory fees; they do not include housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

• Wisconsin undergraduate tuition: $7,126, plus $1,518 in required fees.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $16,085, plus $1,518 in required fees.
• Reported annual room and board figure: $8,690; an individual housing and meal choice may cost differently.

Adding the reported room-and-board figure produces a limited illustration of $17,334 for a Wisconsin resident or $26,293 for a nonresident, before books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. It is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate. Part-time students and graduate students face different tuition schedules.

Published charges are not the same as net price. Reported average net price for students from families earning up to $48,000 was $10,459; the average for those in the $48,001-$75,000 bracket was $12,065. These are group averages after applicable grant aid, not quotes for a new applicant. In the reported aid data, 91% of students received some form of financial aid, and 42% had student loans.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Wisconsin assistance, and institutional scholarships. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is central to determining eligibility for many forms of aid; scholarship applications may have separate steps and deadlines. Veterans and eligible dependents should have military education benefits reviewed with the university's veterans support staff, since benefit coverage depends on the student and program. The most useful comparison is a current, individualized aid offer against a current cost-of-attendance budget - not tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Wisconsin-Platteville?

UW-Platteville students can seek part-time employment and career-development support, but a campus job is not the same thing as a Federal Work-Study award. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid determined through the financial-aid process; an award permits eligible employment but is not itself a paycheck or a guarantee of a position.

Students looking for work should compare available campus jobs with their course schedules and ask whether a posting requires Work-Study eligibility. Other student positions may be open without that award. Internships and cooperative work can provide career-related experience, but UW-Platteville does not require an internship of every student.

The university's career services include individual career planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruiting, and career fairs. Students can also use career exploration and alumni networking resources. Those services can support a job search; they should not be confused with a verified placement rate or an employment guarantee.
