There are 2022 preliminary — first day autumn enrollment — figures out for the UW System. Kelly Meyerhofer reports Enrollment dips at most UW campuses, but UW System president thinks campuses ‘have turned a corner’ on COVID-19:

Here are the enrollment increases or decreases by campus as collected by the UW System based on the first day of classes. Because the data is preliminary, the percentages could change. Branch campuses are included in overall percentages.
- UW-Madison: +5%
- UW-Superior: +4%
- UW-Green Bay: +3%
- UW-La Crosse: 0%
- UW-Milwaukee: -3%
- UW-Parkside: -3%
- UW-Stevens Point: -3%
- UW-Whitewater: -4%
- UW-Platteville: -5%
- UW-River Falls: -5%
- UW-Eau Claire: -5%
- UW-Oshkosh: -6%
- UW-Stout: -6%
Two obvious points: these are first day numbers (not the tenth day where the adding and dropping of registrations would be considered) and these numbers show both main campuses and their satellite schools as one percentage of increase or decrease.
