  1. The tuition statement on MyUW serves as the official tuition bill. No paper bills are sent for tuition. MyUW can be found at my.uw.edu.
  2. Housing & Food Services will bill separately for UW housing. This fee will appear on the official tuition bill at the beginning of the quarter only if the student notifies Housing & Food Services that financial aid will pay for their housing.

In cases where payments are not made for an extended period of time, we will send you a number of notices, and if we do not hear back from you, you may be sent to collections. Your promissory note and/or The Financial Liability Agreement, which students sign at registration provides the information regarding collections and the costs of collection efforts. Collection fees are percentage based, determined by your balance and added to the amount our collection agencies manage. For example: Your past due loans are $10,000.

Defaulted Perkins Loans can be restored to current loan status through rehabilitation. To do so, the borrower must enter into a written payment agreement and voluntarily make nine (9) on time consecutive monthly payments in an amount determined by ECSI. If a Perkins Loan is successfully rehabilitated, eligibility for new Title IV financial aid will be reinstated, the original terms including deferment and cancellation benefits will be reinstated, and late payment history will be removed from the credit history.

If you have a period of prolonged illness, unemployment, or other hardships that prevents you from making scheduled payments, you may qualify for a deferment or forbearance.   It is best to call ECSI and discuss your situation.  They will assist you and provide you the links to find the required forms.  Note:  there are other situations that may allow you to get a deferment or forbearance, so we encourage you to contact ECSI at 1-888-549-3274 or email cservice@ecsi.net

This enables you to manage your student loan account through their website.   It is critical that you keep in touch with the university and ECSI by providing us with your updated email, address and phone number so we can contact you with any changes/concerns about your loans.

Holds are placed preventing registration and changes to your schedule. A late charge is assessed. Students must have all past due charges owed to the University paid in full in order to register for any classes. You should immediately contact our Receivables team at 206-616-5421 to discuss your situation and any options that may be available to you. If you are registered for the current quarter, you may also want to contact Financial Aid to see if funds may be available to you. Unpaid charges may be sent to outside collections.
