Rates for Researchers & Other Visitors

These rates apply only to expenses paid on a UW budget. If paying otherwise (*regardless of UW affiliation*), University of Washington institutional overhead as well as state/local taxes will be incurred, for a final cost that is 24% greater; see Rates – paying by card/check/cash.

**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.
