What are the “special fees” that I see in the UWSP timetable?
“Special fees” are sometimes referred to as “lab fees”. The faculty member teaching the course uses these fees to purchase materials that will be used by the class during the semester. By buying in bulk, the department can purchase materials at a discounted price. Typically, your lab fees will purchase paper, canvas, clay, mat board, illustration board, drawing materials, wood, glass, printing plates, etc.
