Where can I find tuition rates?
Full-time MBA tuition rates can be found on the UW Web site:
First-year students
Continuing students
Is my tuition the same no matter how many credits I take?
The standard tuition rate covers credit loads between 7 and 18 credits. If you take fewer than 7 credits or more than 18 credits, you will pay a different rate according to the tuition fee chart listed on the UW site (linked above).
What is the deadline for paying tuition and fees?
You must pay your tuition and fees by the third Friday of each quarter. If you miss the deadline, you will be charged a $120 late payment fee. The exact date tuition is due each quarter is found on the UW Academic Calendar.
Why am I being charged a tuition forfeiture?
If you drop a class during or after the second week of the quarter AND change your number of credits to a different tuition rate (e.g., you were at 19 credits and drop to fewer than 18 credits or you were at 8 credits and drop to fewer than 7 credits), the UW will charge you a tuition forfeiture. The amount of the tuition forfeiture depends on when you drop the class. For details, visit the UW’s Tuition Forfeiture site.
If you add or drop classes after the quarterly add/drop deadline, you are charged a $20 late registration change fee on each day that you make a change. See UW Academic Calendar for more details.
