Tuition

What happens if my account becomes delinquent?
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. A percentage based collection fee, up to 40% of your charges, will be added to the amount our collection agency will manage. For example, if your past due balance is $10,000, the amount owed increases to $14,000.00.
Where can I find information on tuition rates?

Does it cost anything to drop a class or withdraw from classes?

Students have through the 7th calendar day (including weekends and holidays) of each quarter to make changes to their schedule without incurring a financial penalty. Students are charged one-half of the tuition reduction (50% forfeiture) for classes dropped from the 8th through the 30th calendar day of the quarter. If they drop below fulltime, they will be charged the tuition rate for the number of credits that they are taking, plus one-half of the difference between full-time tuition and the new rate. For changes made on the 31st day or later, they will be charged 100% of the tuition amount. Additionally, after the 7th calendar day, the Registrar’s Office will assess a $20 late change fee. Summer drop/forfeiture dates are different.
