Paying your housing charges on-time is important - and easy! You can view and pay your housing charges online through MyUW.
If you have any questions about your housing charges, please contact Housing & Residence Life at court17@uw.edu.
WAYS TO PAY
Financial Aid *
Aid resources that are applied directly to your student account are automatically applied against your Housing charges after your tuition and required fees have been paid in full. You may also receive a refund of surplus aid resources should you receive more aid than the total of your charges.
Out of Pocket
You can make a payment for your housing charges just how you would pay your tuition. For more information on payment options, please see the UW Tacoma Cashier’s Office website.
Veteran & Military Benefits
Payments for tuition and required fees are often paid directly from the government to UW. Payments for housing are often paid directly to individuals and then must be paid towards your student account (see Out of Pocket above).
Note: Please be mindful of your bank account at the beginning of each quarter. If you see a larger financial aid deposit than you are expecting, your housing charges may not have been deducted from your aid before being deposited. If this is the case, simply log in to MyUW and pay your housing charges with the funds you received. If you have questions regarding your financial aid package, please contact the the Office of Financial Aid.
If you would like to know whether we received your payment, please email court17@uw.edu. Please note that your student account will apply payments to charges with the highest priority - unpaid tuition always outranks unpaid housing. If you would like to apply your payment toward your housing charges, please contact sfshelp@uw.edu.
Section 11.6 of the housing agreement states: “Student understands and acknowledges that if the student’s financial aid does not cover housing payments, the student is still responsible for paying the remaining amounts by the quarterly payment due dates.”
If you are unable to pay your balance by the due date please submit a housing appeal requesting a payment plan modification as early as possible -at least 10 days before the due date - so we can work with you to determine the best plan of action (and avoid late fees!). Appeals that requires a change to the billing schedule (custom billing) may incur a $50 appeal processing fee.
