Tuition and fee rates are set by the Washington State Legislature and approved by the University of Washington Board of Regents. Tuition rates are maintained by the Office of Planning & Budgeting and are based on your grade classification, residency status, graduate tier and the total number of credit hours for which you are registered. If a graduate student falls into two tiers, they will be charged the greater of the two tier rates when producing the tuition bill.
