Highlights and Important Dates

Autumn Quarter Aid
Financial aid is disbursed to your student account to pay your tuition and fees. Any remaining balance will be sent to your bank if you have signed up for direct deposit, and should be available beginning September 22. If you are not able to sign up for direct deposit, you may request an aid check be mailed to you from Student Fiscal Services. For additional details on aid disbursement, see How to Receive Your Aid.

Priority Filing Deadline
The Priority Filing Deadline for 2008-09 has passed but you may still file a FAFSA as a late applicant. Carefully read all of the information about the application process and send/transmit your 2008-09 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA as soon as possible. You must list the "University of Washington-Seattle" Code #003798 in step 6.
