Out-of-state students over limit

Due to increased enrollment rates for the 2012-2013 academic year, the University of Wisconsin-Madison surpassed the Board of Regents’ limit for the proportion of out-of-state students allowed to attend the university.

The current percentage of out-of-state students on campus is at 25.8 percent, which is a “slight drift” over the 25 percent Regent limit, according to UW-Madison Provost Paul DeLuca.

DeLuca said the university will discuss the increase with the regents to find a solution.

A three-year rolling average of 25 percent out-of-state students may work better than the current system, according to DeLuca, as it would give UW-Madison the chance to adjust after any changes in enrollment.
