Rates for Researchers & Other Visitors
These rates apply to any expenses that are not paid on a UW budget, regardless of a person’s UW affiliation. They are higher than budget rates because the University of Washington adds institutional overhead.
ALL CHARGES ARE SUBJECT TO SALES TAX (8.5%) and, unless being charged to a UW budget or billed to a university, must be paid prior to your departure from FHL. Graduate students are encouraged to apply for fellowship funding.
**Visitors are charged a per-person Facility Fee in addition to any housing costs (see Fees Policy for information). Those staying in a Standard Dorm or Hut will also be charged for a Full Meal Plan, provided by the Dining Hall.
10 Day Cancellation Policy
If you would like to cancel all or part of your stay, please notify the Visitor Coordinator in writing at least 10 days before the first date to be cancelled. If we receive fewer than 10 days notice, FHL will charge 25% of total estimated expenses for housing and all fees.
Cleaning Policy
If after departure, additional staff time is required for cleaning a housing unit or lab space beyond what is ordinarily needed, you will be billed for extra time at a rate of $57.20 + tax/hour.
