Admission to UW–Madison

• If you are a Guest auditor (UGST) you will receive an email from Anne Niendorf (anne.niendorf@wisc.edu) regarding your application status.
• Once your application is processed and you are admitted, you will receive a second email from USSS indicating that you have been admitted. Once you receive this email, make sure to email adaptedfitness@education.wisc.edu to let them know you have been admitted.

Tuition 

Who is eligible for Adapted Fitness tuition to be waived?

• Admitted Senior Guest auditors (UGSR) (Wisconsin residents, age 60+), your tuition is automatically waived. No further information is needed from you for your tuition to be waived. 
• If you are an admitted Guest auditor (UGST) (under age 60) receiving SSDI or SSI and a Wisconsin resident, your tuition can be waived. Your residency status will be listed on your admission letter. For tuition to be waived, submit a copy of your SSDI/SSI benefits letter via mail or email a scanned version to our office. If you do not have a copy of your SSDI/SSI letter, you can obtain one at your local Social Security office or request one through the Social Security Administration. If you attended Adapted Fitness in the past and submitted an SSI/SSDI letter to our office at that time, you do not need to resubmit the letter. Our office should have your documentation on file and can waive your tuition. If you would like to check to see if your SSI/SSDI information is on file at our office, contact Anne Niendorf at 608-265-5120 or anne.niendorf@wisc.edu
