Freshman students must pay a $200 matriculation fee (also called confirmation fee) to reserve a spot in the freshman class. This fee includes the orientation fee. Transfer students are required to pay a $100 matriculation fee to reserve a spot for the upcoming semester. You may pay by cash, check, money order, or credit card at https://secure.uiw.edu/admissions/apply_admisfm.php
