When tuition is due now, but residency is still pending.

If you have submitted a residency application, please allow several weeks for processing. Please note that we accept residency applications through the 30th day of the term; it is expected that a number of applications will be processed after tuition bills were due.

Pay the Resident portion of your tuition bill now

The recommendation is to pay your bill as if you received residency while your application is pending. In other words, pay the housing and fees portions of your bill in full, but deduct the non-resident portion of your tuition charges while you're waiting. 

• Undergraduate Students without a WUE/Cougar Award: Subtract $8279 from your bill.
• Undergraduate Students with a WUE/Cougar Award: Subtract $2779 from your bill.
• Other students can calculate this amount using the WSU Estimated Cost of Attendance.

Petitioning the Late Fees

You will be assessed late fees for the non-resident tuition, but will be able to Petition the Bursar to remove them because you have a pending residency application. Note that the Bursar will expect you to pay your bill in full soon after your residency determination has been made.
