Private Business Billing & Payment

If you have a non-University business sponsor who is paying all or part of your tuition and fees, you may have your sponsor billed directly by Student Fiscal Services. In order for SFS to send out a bill, your sponsor must complete and return the 3rd Party Contract.

The contract should be turned in to SFS by the following dates:

Term Contract Due Date

Autumn 2008

September 15th, 2008

Winter 2009

December 22nd, 2008

Spring 2009

March 20th, 2009

Starting Autumn quarter 2008, payment from your sponsor must be received by SFS by the tuition due date. You may be assessed a late fee for any unpaid balance on your student account after the tuition due date.

Employer Billing & Payment

If you are having your tuition paid by your employer, you must turn in a letter of credit to Student Fiscal Services as soon as possible. In order to avoid delay, it is best if you drop off or mail this form directly to the Student Fiscal Services Office. Do not mail your form in the envelope included with tuition statements. Once our office receives the letter of credit, we will verify the amount you owe and send the form on for processing of your tuition payment.

As it may take up to two weeks to have the payment sent to Student Fiscal Services, we encourage you to request your voucher or letter of credit from your business and turn it in to our office before the quarter begins to allow for the payment to be processed and received by SFS by the tuition due date.

Boeing Billing & Payment

If your tuition is being paid by Boeing, you must turn in your voucher to Student Fiscal Services no later than the tuition due date. Your student account will be credited for the amount listed on your voucher. Any charges not covered by Boeing must be paid by the tuition due date.

Since we guarantee your payment up front, it will be your responsibility to repay the University of Washington if we do not receive reimbursement from Boeing.

AmeriCorps Billing & Payment

If your tuition is being paid by AmeriCorps, you must turn in your voucher to Student Fiscal Services or complete your request with AmeriCorps online no later than the tuition due date. Your student account will be credited for the amount listed on your voucher. Any charges not covered by AmeriCorps must be paid by the tuition due date.

An AmeriCorps voucher can be used to pay for tuition, loans, or other expenses. If you are using the voucher to pay for loans, please specify this on the voucher. If you alter any amounts on the form, you must initial next to it before it will be valid to submit to AmeriCorps for payment.

Since we guarantee your payment up front, it will be your responsibility to repay the University of Washington if we do not receive reimbursement from AmeriCorps.

City, County, State or Federal Government Sponsors Billing & Payment

Before you can have your tuition and fees paid by a city, county, state or federal government sponsored agency, your sponsor must have a pre-existing agreement on file with the Student Fiscal Services Office. Check with the agency for the correct form to use for your payment authorization.

You must turn in a government agency purchasing order, field order, or letter with the billing information from your sponsor to the Student Fiscal Services Office at the beginning of each quarter. This must be turned in before your sponsor can be billed and your tuition paid.

Since we guarantee your payment up front, it will be your responsibility to repay the University of Washington if we do not receive reimbursement.

Military Sponsors Billing & Payment

If your tuition is paid by the military, you need to turn in the contract or authorization form to the Student Fiscal Services Office to guarantee your tuition payment. You may bring the form to the office, or have your sponsor mail or fax the form directly to the Student Fiscal Services Office.

If you are an out-of-state active duty military student, you may be eligible for resident tuition. Contact the Residence Classification Office in 264 Schmitz Hall, or call (206) 543-5932, for further information.

International Students Sponsored by Foreign Governments Billing & Payments

If your tuition is paid by a foreign government or embassy while you are attending the University of Washington, your sponsor needs to complete and return the 3rd Party Contract (add link) to Student Fiscal Services Office by the following dates:

Term Contract Due Date

Autumn 2008

September 15th, 2008

Winter 2009

December 22nd, 2008

Spring 2009

March 20th, 2009

This will ensure that we have time to bill your sponsor, and receive your payment by the tuition due date. Please be aware that it can take several months for the University of Washington to receive payment from certain foreign governments.

A late fee may be assessed for payments received after the tuition due date. If your sponsor does not pay the late fee it will be your responsibility to do so.

International students are required to have medical insurance coverage while attending school. If you have other insurance and do not want to subscribe to the student insurance plan offered by the University of Washington, you need to submit proof of health insurance to the International Students and Scholar Office (Schmitz Hall, Room 459). If your sponsor is willing to pay for your student insurance, they must include that item in the charges to be billed.

Payments

If your sponsor is paying by check, the check must be made payable to the University of Washington. The check must be drawn on a U.S. Bank and payable in U.S. dollars. We also accept Automated Clearing House (ACH) bank deposits and wire transfers for tuition payments from foreign sponsors.
