Important Notes
More information on the Bursar's Office Tuition Remission form and submission process is at: https://businessservices.wisc.edu/making-payments/payments-to-students/tuition-remission/ Users may choose to filter query results for either the current or the subsequent academic term. If only the current academic term is visible it is too early in the term to view enrollments and appointments for the next term. Data for the subsequent term are typically available around the mid-point of the prior term. The first six columns of the query output file correspond to the columns in the Tuition Remission Authorization Form, so the data can be copy and pasted from one spreadsheet to the other. However, the query output also includes a number of additional columns providing information about the appointment (e.g. pay basis, rate, etc.). These additional columns are included to provide contextual information about the appointment(s) that programs and administrative units may find useful. In cases where the student holds more than one appointment concurrently, the query output file will include separate rows for each of those appointments. In such cases the appointment information in the first six columns will be duplicated, so the user will need to be aware of this when copying and pasting the information to the Tuition Remission Authorization Form. If a student has multiple concurrent student appointments totaling 33% FTE or more the student will be included in the query output even if each of those appointments is less than 33% FTE.
