| How To Pay Tuition At University Of Washington |
Let's Break This Down, Cash-Monay Style
The University of Washington offers a smorgasbord of payment methods, ensuring you won't be left at the register like a college student who forgot their ramen fund. Here's the delicious breakdown:
The Digital Debits: Channel your inner hacker (for good this time) with web check payments. It's like writing a check, but with the magic of the internet! Parents, you can also get in on this action. Just remember, make sure your bank allows electronic debits before you go all Robin Hood on your account.
The Plastic Fantastic: For those who like the convenience (and maybe the rewards points) of plastic, credit card payments are an option. But be warned, there's a convenience fee, so use this option judiciously, like for those times when your ramen fund is mysteriously empty (we've all been there).
The Old-School Approach: For the sentimental souls who miss the days of snail mail, checks by mail are still a thing. Just make sure your student ID number is scrawled on that check like a secret decoder ring, so it gets delivered to the right Husky. Pro-tip: Allow ample mailing time to avoid late fees (because nobody wants those pesky things).
The International Caper: Calling all our international students! You can whoosh your tuition funds over with an international wire transfer. It's like financial magic, but be sure to check with your bank about any fees associated with this method.
Important Note: Cash payments are no longer accepted by Student Fiscal Services for over $500. So ditch the piggy bank and break out the digital age payment methods.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
