Dear CWU Students,

As you know, we will conduct our spring quarter entirely online for the first time in the history of the university. This shift has prompted a careful analysis of university fees. 

CWU will be waiving all fees that are not linked to instruction, to student support, or to legal financial obligations, including the support of bonds that pay for student facilities. We appreciate your understanding that we need to maintain the viability of the university’s student services and our legal obligations.

CWU will waive the following fees for spring quarter 2020.

1.   Athletics fee

6.   Late Registration fee
7.   Library fee
8.   Parking fee

CONTINUED FEES

Fees that Support Instruction:
