Maintaining eligibility
To remain eligible for your waiver, you must:
- have an appointment time totaling up to 50% or more
- be paid for 5 of the 6 consecutive pay periods of the academic quarter, or 2 consecutive pay periods at anytime during the summer
- be currently registered for a minimum of 10 credits, or approved by the Graduate School for reduced enrollment (2 credits during summer quarter)
- have an appointment schedule in the University of Washington Workday system with an eligible job code
Viewing and paying your tuition balance
You may view your tuition balance on MyUW.
Your tuition balance at the beginning of the quarter should reflect your tuition waiver. If your balance is still reflecting full tuition, or you have received less than what you think you may be entitled to, contact your department. They can make sure the paperwork has been sent through to the Payroll Office and explain the details of your award. Please also verify with your department that your social security number and student number are the same in both the Workday and SDB systems.
If your appointment is late, be sure and pay YOUR portion by the tuition due date to avoid late fees.
You may pay your balance either by check, money order, cash, electronically from your bank account, or by credit card over the internet. If you mail your check or place it in the drop slot at the north entrance of Schmitz Hall, please write your student number on the check. If there are not sufficient funds in your bank account to cover your check, you will be charged a return item fee of $25 and possible late payment fees by the Student Fiscal Services Office. Your bank may also charge you additional fees.
