EdSLP Tuition & Fees

The Master of Science program in Educational Speech-Language Pathology (EdSLP) is a fee-based or self-sustaining graduate program administered through the University of Washington Professional & Continuing Education (UW PCE). UW PCE is the administrator for over 60 fee-based graduate degree programs at the University of Washington.

Because the EdSLP program is fee-based, the tuition process operates differently from state programs (e.g. CoreSLP). EdSLP degree program students pay the established program fees through UW PCE on a quarterly basis. Students enrolled in the EdSLP program pay a fixed tuition rate each quarter. That is, students are NOT charged on a per credit basis, but pay the same tuition rate each quarter, regardless of the number of credits in which they enroll (up to a maximum of 18 credits).

If for any reason a student registers for less than a full-time credit load, they will still be charged the fixed tuition rate. There is no part-time or per-credit rate available for this degree program per our contractual arrangements with PCE and the University of Washington. If students want to register for other UW courses that are not part of the EdSLP curriculum, they must submit a request through their Student Services Advisor that will be reviewed by the M.S. Program Director and Graduate Program Coordinator (GPC). The fixed, quarterly tuition rate covers the approved M.S.- EdSLP coursework, as well as other UW courses that are not part of the M.S.- EdSLP curriculum (whether inside or outside of the department). Students may register up to 18 total credits without being charged additional tuition at the UW Graduate Tier 1 per credit rate for the Seattle campus. 

Despite the difference in tuition, graduate students in the Educational Speech-Language Pathology program (and any fee-based program) are eligible for the same graduate student services as individuals in WA state-funded programs, including financial aid, campus healthcare, housing, insurance, etc.  There may be some scholarships or aid that are designated for state-funded programs that students may not qualify.

1) Non-Refundable Program Deposit

Once accepted, all new students must submit a $500 deposit to UW PCE to secure a space in the program. Initial acceptance notifications are emailed in March. The mandatory $500 deposit is applied toward the first quarter tuition total, but is due immediately at the time of acceptance. Entering students may not wait until financial aid is distributed to submit the deposit.

2) Instructional Fees (Tuition)

For this fee-based program, different “in-state” and “out-of-state” tuition rates are assessed. There is an established instructional fee that graduate students pay for the degree program that is contingent on the student's residency status. This tuition rate/instructional fee is fixed each quarter for up to 18 credits of coursework and is not calculated on a per credit basis. Please note that this instructional fee does not include the cost of textbooks or materials and is subject to change.

3) University Fees

UW graduate students are responsible for the following University fees. All are paid directly to UW PCE at the time of registration, with the exception of the UPASS fee which is charged quarterly to each student’s account (accessible through MyUW):

• Building fee - A fee paid to offset security, maintenance and utilities (included in the tuition rate).
• Registration fee - A nonrefundable fee paid each quarter to UW PCE at the time of registration.
• Student Technology fee - This fee supports the improvement of technology used by students at the University of Washington campuses. The Student Technology Fee Committee determines the expenditure of this fee. Students at the UW lead the committee which allocates money for technology resources for general student use. The fee is paid quarterly, except during Summer.
• Services & Activities (S&A) fee - This fee is a student levied and distributed fee to support and enhance student activities and programs at the UW, including the Associated Students of UW (ASUW), the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS), Campus Sustainability Fund, Childcare Assistance Program, Classroom Support Services, Counseling Center, Ethnic Cultural Center & Theater Complex, Hall Health Primary Care Center, Q Center, Recreational Sports Programs, Husky Union Building, Student Legal Services, and Student Publications. The fee is paid quarterly.
• IMA Bond fee – This fee supports the expansion of the Intramural Activities (IMA) building and improvements to recreational sports programs facilities including construction of a multi-activity sports field and renovation of the golf driving range. The fee is paid quarterly.
• U-Pass / Transportation fee – This fee is mandatory for all registered and enrolled UW Seattle campus students. The fee is paid quarterly.

4) Departmental Fees

All Master of Science graduate students are responsible for the following, mandatory departmental fees:

• Immunization fee – All clinical graduate students at the UW are required to participate in the Health Sciences Immunization Program (HSIP) provided through UW Campus Health Services. An annual fee is charged to cover the costs associated with reviewing, documenting and tracking student compliance with immunization and tuberculosis screening requirements, the costs of mandatory annual PPD skin tests and flu shots, as well as costs associated with any blood borne pathogen exposures that may occur at clinical sites while enrolled in the graduate program. An annual fee is charged each Autumn quarter.
• Background check fees – All graduate students in the department are required to complete and successfully pass a national background check as a condition of admission. The fee is paid directly to the vendor, Certiphi Inc., prior to starting the program. In addition, students in the EdSLP program are required to complete a repeat background check before the start of their second year in the program and their off-site clinical placements. If a student decides to leave the state of Washington for a full-time internship, he/she may also be required to complete another full background check for their assigned internship site.
• Typhon Allied Health Student Tracking System fee - Typhon is an online database used by clinical graduate students and faculty in our department to store and track information related to clinical education and coursework. Every student will be trained on this system and will pay a one-time fee to the vendor prior to Autumn quarter.
• Clinical course fees - course fees are used to cover costs associated with special materials, supplies, software, media, equipment/technology, and associated maintenance, etc. Any financial aid a student receives applies to course fees.
