*   In addition to tuition, there is a services and activities fee and a technology 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 services and activities fee ($43–$148) will not be calculated in the online registration form. This fee will be added to the total tuition 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 Day Master of Science in Information Management Degree Program (MSIM). At the time of registration, UWEO will collect tuition and 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 Winter Quarter 2010 cost per graduate credit is $567. The prorated technology and services and activities fees, 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 tuition, 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 MSIM 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 UWEO 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 tuition and 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 tuition is 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 ID Card: The University of Washington issues each student a permanent ID card. You can pick up your card in person at the Student ID Card Center, on the ground floor of the Odegaard Undergraduate Library next to the By George Café (see map). You will need to present photo identification to claim your card. A quarterly validation sticker, to be affixed to the ID card, will be mailed to students shortly after they register each quarter.
  
  
• Quarterly U-PASS: Once enrolled, you will continue to receive from the University a quarterly Registration Confirmation and Enrollment Validation. Affixed to this form are the quarterly U-PASS and validation sticker. Important instructions regarding the U-PASS, its use, its return, and the payment deadlines will be included. Note: You will be billed for the U-PASS, even if you are not able to use it, unless you return the U-PASS by the posted deadline.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Cancellations and Changes: UW Extension reserves the right to cancel programs or classes with low enrollment. Please note: Fees and tuition are subject to change.

  • For information about your program and degree requirements, see the Information School Web site or e-mail msim@ischool.washington.edu.
  • If you have registration questions, contact uweoreg@extn.washington.edu.

Payment Policy: Payment (or, for students receiving financial aid, the UWEO Payment Agreement) is due at the time of registration. There is a $25 late fee beginning the first day of the term: January 4, 2010. Students receiving financial aid through the UW Student Financial Aid Office must pay in full within one week after the financial aid has been disbursed. There is a $75 petition fee beginning January 18, 2010. Refund Policy: To receive a 100% refund, minus the $35 registration fee, you must send a written request to withdraw by January 8, 2010. To receive a 50% refund, the written request must be received by February 2, 2010.
