• $120 for transfer students (fee includes up to two guests to join at SOAR)
• $25 for each additional guest (beyond the allotted two in new student fee) that attends SOAR
• Students changing to the Whitewater campus from the Rock County campus are not charged the new student fee, as you are a current UWW student
