Your student budget is the amount of money we estimate you will need for tuition, books, and living expenses for the 9-month academic year (October-June). Student budgets 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.

* For UW-Seattle students, the annual U-Pass expense of $228 is added to the Tuition and Fees category, therefore the Transportation budget component is reduced to reflect this change.
** Tuition rates for 2012-13 have not yet been established.
Traditional: All single, undergraduate students (without dependent children) who are living away from parents' home; or undergraduate married students without children whose spouses are also students.
Non-Traditional: Undergraduates who have children; married undergraduates whose spouses are not also enrolled. Registered same-sex domestic partners may request consideration for additional living costs and will need to provide information about their partner's financial resources when they make the request.
