Tuition Exemption Information

If you are a Washington State employee, you may be eligible for the University of Washington Tuition Exemption Program.

Please refer to the following link for complete information regarding the Tuition Exemption Program policy and procedures: http://www.washington.edu/students/reg/tuition_exempt.html

Important Notes about Course Registration Using the Tuition Exemption Program

  • After the UW Registration Office has received your tuition exemption request, you can register using the Registration option on MyUW (http://myuw.washington.edu/) on or after the appropriate registration eligibility dates.
  • Please see the Academic Calendar for specific registration dates: http://www.washington.edu/students/reg/0809cal.html
  • Course registration is not permitted prior to the appropriate space-available eligibility date for all courses when using a tuition exemption. However, you may attend classes with instructor permission prior to their registering during the first week of the quarter.

Evans School Waitlist Policy for Tuition Exempt Students

  • If you are using your Washington State tuition exemption to register, you can request to be placed on a waitlist for Evans School courses. Having your name put on the waiting list may help, but it does not guarantee that you will get into the class. The only way to guarantee getting into a course is to register and pay.
  • If you want to be put on the waiting list, please email evansreg@u.washington.edu starting at 6 a.m. on the first day of Period I Registration. Indicate the class and section you wish to be added to. When the quarter begins, show up to the first day of class to find out if space may be available in the course.

**Please note: Students registering before the designated tuition exemption registration date will not be permitted to convert to the tuition exemption program and will be required to pay regular tuition for all registered credits.
