Employees who participate in the IRS Section 127 tuition exemption plan have additional federal income tax withheld, as well as additional Social Security and Medicare taxes paid, when the total amount of tuition waivers received exceeds the maximum allowed. Twice each year, Student Fiscal Services determines if the maximum amount allowed has been exceeded, and informs the Payroll Office of the excess amount.; SFS also informs impacted employees that an additional tax liability exists (Note: The Payroll Office determines the taxes owed, not SFS.

All registered and enrolled UW Seattle students who pay a Services & Activities Fee (SAF) recieve a Universal U-Pass and are required to pay the fee, regardless of whether or not they choose to use it.

Last year, students proposed to the UW Board of Regents making the U-PASS program a universal program for Seattle campus students. The Regents approved. The change reduced the cost of U-PASS membership and locked the rate through the 2012-2013 academic year. Read more about the student Universal U-PASS initiative.
