Reimbursement Program/Third-Party Billing
Students whose tuition is reimbursed by their employer or a third party (such as an embassy) may be eligible for this program. Documentation confirming enrollment in an employer reimbursement program is required annually or quarterly and allows deferment of tuition up to approximately 30 days after the quarter ends.

If a third party is involved, the University will bill the third party directly, provided Student Financial Services has been given the appropriate documents. All other fees and charges are due when billed. Third Party Billing requires a purchase order or voucher from the company with information on the student, courses/terms covered, and amount authorized.

For Americorps funding, please visit Americorps and create a profile and voucher.

Contact Student Financial Services by calling 206-281-2061 and asking for the third-party billing representative, or fill out our contact form for more details.

*GR Reimbursement Form (PDF)

Late Charges
A late charge (15 percent per annum, 1.25 percent per month) will be assessed against any owing balance shown on the student's last statement of account.

Unpaid Student Charges Penalties
A student who has delinquent financial obligations will not be permitted to register or attend classes for subsequent quarters, or order official transcripts until such obligations have been satisfied. The University reserves the right to deny enrollment, including advance registration or extension of credit, to any student who does not meet past-due obligations or fulfill financial commitments to the University.

A continued failure to meet financial obligations may result in the referral of the delinquent account to an outside agency for collection of the total amount due, plus all applicable collection costs.
