Student Accounts

Willamette University is committed to focusing its financial resources on providing a quality academic program. We strive to provide a low student-to-faculty ratio and strong compensation packages that allow us to recruit and retain an excellent faculty. We encourage innovation and quality in all our academic programs. Tuition and fees provide the primary source of revenue for the University, but a large endowment and generous giving from our alumni help to offset the overall cost of tuition.

Health Insurance: Cost for 2012-13 to be determined

All students attending Willamette University half time or more are required to carry health insurance. Willamette University automatically places students on a third party insurance carrier policy. Student health insurance is billed on a semester basis and the cost is allocated based upon the days in each semester. If you have coverage under another plan you can go online beginning on July 16, 2012 to waive out of Willamette's student insurance plan. This plan must be waived by October 1, 2012 if you do not need the insurance coverage for the 2012-13 academic year. For more information about student health insurance please view the Student Insurance web page.

Application Fee

A nonrefundable $50 application fee is required only if students apply for admission by submitting the Common Application through standard postal mail. There is no fee for applications submitted online.

Advance Deposit: $500

A nonrefundable advance deposit submitted by students who have been accepted is due by May 1, which is National Candidate Reply Date. This guarantees an entering student a position in the incoming class, and on housing and registration rosters. This deposit is credited toward the student’s first-semester tuition bill.
