UW-Madison’s has made a commitment to guarantee secondary education access and affordability, particularly for Wisconsin residents. Bucky’s Tuition Promise (BTP) commits to providing some of our most financially vulnerable students and families with the opportunity to attend UW-Madison without concern of the cost of tuition and segregated fees. We feel that one of the best parts of this new initiative is that the clarity and simplicity of the criteria and commitment- if an incoming student’s household adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than or equal to $56K, we’ll ensure that tuition and segregated fees are paid with gift aid (i.e. scholarships and grants).

Dordt College Dual Credit Classes
For students who wish to earn college credit while in high school, this is a great opportunity to do take college courses that are taught from a Christian perspective that we highly value at Central Wisconsin Christian. For a list of current classes offered visit www.dordt.edu/online . Tuition for these classes (since students are receiving college credit for them is at the expense of the family.) Tuition for course from Dordt College is $495 for a 3 credit course. (That is $165 per credit). Requirements for each student to take these courses would be a high school junior or senior with a gp of 3.0 or higher and an ACT composite of at least 19.
Marian College Offers CWC Tuition Grant

UW Systems Regional Placement Testing:
Registration for math, English, and foreign language Regional Placement Testing for next year’s college freshmen opens February 1. You’ll be able to find the updated schedule, contact list, and FAQ document at: testing.wisc.edu/centerpages/regionaltesting.html. For most of the UW Campuses freshmen will be required to take a placement test for math and English (foreign language placement test is optional). At UW Green Bay, Superior and Whitewater, your ACT subscores will be used for English placement, but you will still need to take a placement test for math.
The battery of placement tests includes math, English and your choice of foreign language (French, German or Spanish). Please refer to the information you received from the campus you will be attending about which tests you must take and the length of time needed between when you test and when you can attend your advising session. This is very important because several campuses will require your placement test results before you can register for classes. Some campuses require you to complete your tests 1-2 weeks before advising. Important Note: You will need to bring a government-issued photo ID (your high school ID will suffice as long as it has your entire name and a photo) to the testing site.
If you have any questions about this process see Mrs. Schouten. She may also be able to locate some practice tests for you.
