Special note to UW and State of WA employees pursuing graduate coursework:
For several years, the UW has had a Tuition Exemption Program, which enables UW and State of WA employees to have tuition waived for up to six credit hours when enrollment is on a space-available basis.
Effective winter quarter 2013, the Tuition Exemption Program is available only to non-matriculated (NM) and graduate non-matriculated (GNM) students in the College of Education. Matriculated students — including matriculated students enrolled in other schools/colleges — will not be permitted to use the tuition exemption.
For complete information, please review this policy statement.
Other Expenses
The Office of Student Financial Aid has prepared estimates of living expenses (e.g. room, board, transportation, etc.) for U.S. students; International Student Services has prepared similar estimates for international students. We encourage you to review these estimates as you plan for your education.

The University of Washington is No. 7 for education on the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects list for 2020.
Your student cost of attendance is the amount of money we estimate you will need for tuition, books, and living expenses for the nine-month academic year (October-June). It is based on surveys of students’ costs, comparisons with other schools, input from housing and transportation agencies, and it reflects cost-of-living changes. Your COA attendance is a budgeting tool to help students and parents anticipate the cost associated with going to college.
Student costs can include only the student's educational costs; other family members' expenses cannot be included in the budget. The figures below are subject to change each academic year.
Students may submit a revision request form to have additional costs (childcare, uninsured medical/dental costs for the student, etc.) included in their individual budgets. Please contact our office for a revision request.
