About Payments

For all 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. The tables below explain how different expenses must be paid.

HOW TO PAY FHL 

We accept checks, credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express; no extra fee), or cash.

PAYMENTS BY CHECK: Make check out to “University of Washington” and mail to:

UW Friday Harbor Labs
620 University Rd.
Friday Harbor, WA 98250
Attn:  FHL Main Office

PAYMENTS BY CARD: Call the FHL Front Office (M-F, 8 am – 4 pm): 206-543-1484

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.

About Registration

Students (including UW students) will only be able to register for courses after they’ve been admitted by FHL and have confirmed that they will attend. FHL will provide confirmed students with the instructions, forms, and add/or codes needed for registering.
