If you are a U.S. student with financial need and unable to pay, you may request to defer the cost of the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD). You need to have submitted a FAFSA or WASFA, and requests for ECD deferral are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students approved are typically Pell Grant-eligible. Please note, GET funds may not be used to pay the ECD. Veterans wishing to defer the ECD should contact the Veterans Education Benefits Office for more information.
- Once you submit your ECD deferral request, you will receive additional information regarding your request via your UW email account within 3-5 business days.
- If your ECD deferral is approved, the deposit will be due with tuition on the third Friday of the quarter.
- If your ECD deferral request is approved but you do not enroll, your payment is still an obligation and due by these dates.
- If your ECD deferral is denied, you will be notified via your UW email and instructed to pay. Your admission to the UW is not confirmed until payment is received.
- International students are not eligible for an ECD deferral.
