Tuition
Tax sources of the state finance the major portion of facilities and operation of the instructional programs, student services, and related activities. Graduate students share in the costs by paying tuition, fees, and other charges as established by the Board of Regents.
Tuition, fees, and other charges are subject to change, and are effective when established by the Legislature of the State of Washington and adopted by the WSU Board of Regents. Check for the most up-to-date rates.
Registration Fees
Payment of registration fees is due on or before the fifth Friday of class. Receipt of payment after that day will result in a 5% late payment fee. Any tuition balances not paid by the eighth Friday of class will receive another 10% late payment fee.
