Special note: If both a credit course numbered 100–499 and a credit course numbered 500 and above are taken in the same quarter, the higher 500-and-above fee will be charged for both courses, except online learning. Tuition does not cap out at any certain number of credits. Students will continue to pay the per-credit rate shown in the table above regardless of the number of credits taken. However, tech fees do cap out at $41.

Registration/late fees: All registrants pay a nonrefundable $35 registration fee each quarter. A nonrefundable $25 late fee in addition to the registration fee will be charged to students registering on or after the first day of the quarter. Students admitted to UW degree programs also pay this registration fee when they register through UW Extension.

Additional fees: Some credit courses may have additional fees (i.e., lab fees) charged by departments and billed separately by the University. See "Tuition Statement" on MyUW for fee totals.

Course status change fee: A nonrefundable $20 fee is charged for each course transfer or status change after the first week of the quarter, including single course drops.

Technology fee: The technology fee gives students access to the Internet, World Wide Web, e-mail, computer and multimedia workstations and laboratories, computer software and dial-up telephone service. The fee is refundable on the same basis as tuition. All credit students (except those taking credit courses during Summer Quarter) pay a quarterly technology fee based on the number of credits for which they are enrolled.

Services and activities (S&A) fee: All UW matriculated (formally admitted, degree-seeking) students, including students in UW Evening Degree Programs, pay a quarterly services and activities (S&A) fee. This fee ranges from $28–$148, based on undergraduate or graduate status and the number of credits for which the student is enrolled.
