Course Fees
Course fees are due in full at the time of registration, unless a third-party will be paying via invoice (see Payment Options below). We do not accept partial payments. Payment plans are available for select programs; contact us at uwtpdc@uw.edu for details. Payments may be made by credit card, or check.
Registration Fees
The PDC charges non-refundable registration fees.
Payment Options
The PDC accepts third-party payments from billable government organizations and companies. We do not invoice individuals. We require paying organizations to submit a voucher or purchase order indicating they are accepting responsibility to pay on behalf of a student. Paying organizations will be invoiced upon receipt of voucher. Invoices must be paid net 30 from date of issue. Students are responsible for any balance the third-party does not pay. Many of our programs are eligible for Post 9/11 and GI Bill funding. Students will need to provide their Certificate of Eligibility after registration; additional documentation may be needed. We do not offer scholarships at this time.
Failure to Pay
Failure to pay your outstanding balance may result in a hold on your transcripts, completion certificates and other records. In addition, it may also prevent you from registering for future classes, and/or your account being referred to an outside collection agency, which will incur additional charges.
Refunds
Students must submit a written or e-mail request for a refund/withdrawal no later than 5:00 p.m. two working days before the course begins to be eligible for a refund. Registration fees are not refundable. There is no refund of course fees after the first day of class.
Cancellation
UW Tacoma reserves the right to cancel classes or programs with low enrollment. When classes are cancelled, students will be offered the option to transfer to another class or a refund of fees.
Collections
Accounts with payments that are 90 days or more past due may be referred to collections.

Registration and payment may only be transferred one time. If there are no classes available within the 12-month time frame, a refund of course fees will be issued.
