Fee Book

The Fee Book, published annually by the University of Wyoming’s Budget Office, is an authoritative resource outlining all University-approved fees. It’s the official record of fees, charges, fines, penalties, refunds, and deposits that may be assessed to students, employees, campus users, and the public. The Board of Trustees mandates that fees must be published in the Fee Book before they can be charged, and these fees may be modified throughout the fiscal year.
