UW-Madison exceeded the 25 percent cap for the first time this year when it enrolled 25.8 percent non-resident undergraduates from 6,300 new freshmen, the largest freshman class in the history of UW-Madison. The resident freshman class is the largest in seven years.<\/p>\n<p>UW-Madison proposes to guarantee 3,500 resident enrollments (200 more students than its current target) while increasing the non-resident population slightly to maintain an undergraduate enrollment of 29,000. University projections show the plan would result in a non-resident undergraduate population of 26-27 percent over a five-year period.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin is the only state in the Big Ten that limits non-resident enrollment, and now ranks sixth among Big Ten universities for out-of-state students. Several universities currently enroll more than 40 percent non-resident undergraduates and this fall the University of Iowa <a href=\"http:\/\/now.uiowa.edu\/2012\/09\/ui-enrollment-reaches-record-high\">enrolled<\/a> almost as many out-of-state students as those from in-state (47% compared to 44%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents will meet at UW-Madison today and tomorrow, December 6 and 7.
