*  In addition to instructional fees, there is a services and activities (S&A) fee, and a technology fee. (Please note: Students taking credit courses during Summer Quarter do not pay the technology fee. While the online registration form will indicate a technology fee, your credit card will not be charged for this fee.) The amount of these fees is determined by the total number of credits taken each quarter. During our transition to a new online system, the S&A fee ($43-$143) will not be calculated in the online registration form. This fee will be added to the total instructional fee and your credit card charged accordingly when your registration is processed.

Registration Procedures and Information

UW Educational Outreach (UWEO) is the contact for students registering for courses in the Construction Engineering Program. At the time of registration, UWEO will collect fees for coursework and UW services such as registration, services and activities, and technology resources. To register, contact UWEO (see How to Register below).

The Summer Quarter 2008 cost per graduate credit is $580. The prorated technology fee and services and activities fee, as well as a registration fee of $35, will be charged, in addition to the per-credit fee. Below is a brief description of other relevant information and services:

• Payment, or a letter authorizing payment by a third party, must be received at the time of registration. Fees are paid quarter-by-quarter. To avoid late fees, payment must be received prior to the first day of the quarter. Students are not registered without payment.
  
  
• The payment amount must include the total instructional fees, technology fee, services and activities fee, and a $35 nonrefundable, quarterly registration fee.
  
  
• If registration payment is by credit card, contact UWEO via fax, phone, or mail, or online (see How to Register below).
  
  
• Financial Aid: Financial aid may be available to Construction Engineering participants who have filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For more information on eligibility, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 206-543-6101. Disbursement of financial aid funds from the University Student Accounts office to UW Educational Outreach is not automated. In order to facilitate the registration process, students with approved or pending financial aid through the Office of Student Financial Aid must sign and submit a UW Extension Payment Agreement Form with their registration by fax, mail, or in person. (The form is a PDF file; viewing it requires Adobe Reader.) Upon receipt, you will be enrolled and invoiced for the total fees. Payment of the invoice is due one week after the funds from financial aid are released.
  
  
• Third-Party Payment: For many working professionals, employers function as third-party payers. If your instructional fees are being paid by your employer, a separate document (purchase order or letter of authorization to bill from the employer) must be presented at the time of registration.
  
  
• Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan: If you are enrolling in the optional Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, you need to do so by the seventh calendar day of the quarter through MyUW. You will be billed separately for this. Insurance fees and account balances are also available on MyUW. You will find more information about this plan on the UW Web site.
  
  
• Payment for the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, U-PASS and other optional fees will be billed separately through the University fiscal services with payment due on the third Friday of the quarter.
  
  
• International Postage Fee: Students residing in countries outside the US, Canada, or Mexico must pay a $50 postage charge for materials sent to the student via airmail.
  
  
• The cost of textbooks is extra.
  
  
• The University's tuition exemption policy does not apply to this program.
  
  
• Withdrawals and Course Changes: For information about withdrawals and changes, please see the Academic Calendar on the UW Web site.
  
  
• Accommodations for Disabilities: To request disability accommodations, contact the UW Disability Services Office as early as possible at 206-543-6450.
