About Registration
While FHL reviews student applications and makes admission decisions, it cannot register students in their courses. After a student has been admitted by FHL and has confirmed that they will attend, they will need to submit registration information and payment directly to University of Washington Seattle. Different FHL programs have different registration procedures; FHL will provide confirmed students with the instructions, forms, and/or add codes needed. Note that students (including UW students) will not be able to register until they have been admitted to the program by FHL.
Set up a UW NetId (Non-UW Students)
A UW NetID is required for all students. If you don’t already have one, it’s important to set one up as soon as you begin courses at FHL. You will need the UW Student ID (a 7-digit number) and Private Access Code (PAC) that you received from UW Continuum College/PCE either 1) when you registered for a summer course, 2) when you received a transaction summary after registering for a Research Apprenticeship, or 3) when you arrived to FHL after registering for a Marine Studies or Zoo-Bot program. If you are unsure about your Student ID or PAC, contact FHL Academic Services. We can provide your UW Student ID and you can then call UW to request your PAC (only provided directly to the student): 206-543-8580 x 0.
International Students
If you are not a US citizen and do not already have a US student visa, please follow the International Students link. After you have been admitted into an FHL course, start on the visa paperwork as soon as possible, as the process typically takes months.
About Payments
For most FHL programs, students will need to make at least two different payments: one to University of Washington in Seattle and one to Friday Harbor Labs. In some cases, a third payment will be required. Even after you have paid UW Seattle for tuition and/or fees, you will still need to pay FHL for other expenses such as housing and dining.
HOW TO PAY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
At the time they register, students will submit partial or full payment of tuition and fees to UW. Details on how and where to submit the payment with registration are provided below in the accordion tabs.

FOR ALL CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS (TO FHL OR UW SEATTLE)
If you will be paying UW Seattle or FHL by credit card, we suggest you first contact your credit card company to inform them that you will be making these charges, and to ask if there are any daily or maximum charge limits. If there are charge limits, you can request that these be adjusted for this single payment.
