TUITION and STUDENT FEES
As a student in a fee-based degree or graduate certificate program managed by UW Continuum College/UW Professional & Continuing Education (UWPCE), you can pay your course and other fees online using the MyUW portal, by mail or in person at the UW Continuum College Registration Services office.
Visit the Student Fiscal Services website to view payment deadlines and late fees. Payment must be received by the deadline to avoid late charges. See the UW Academic Calendar for your year of study for all dates and deadlines.
Remember, before paying, you’ll need to register for your courses. For details, visit the onboarding registration guide page.
Note: All emails about registration and payments will be sent to your UW email address.
This table provides an overview of these additional required charges that are not charged by or paid to UW Professional & Continuing Education (UWPCE) and cannot be paid via the third-party payment process. This means that the student must make these payments. If the employer plans to cover these fees, students will need to either utilize an agency credit card OR personal credit card and seek reimbursement from their employer/agency.

Employers who wish to pay the tuition and required student fees managed directly for a students should utilize a third-party payment.
Please note: There are several ways in which a student can pay the tuition and required student fees and then seek reimbursement through their agency. This student-paid approach is more efficient than a third-party payment, which can take several weeks to complete.
