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.Tuition and Fees

Health Insurance: $475–$720
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 annually at the beginning of the academic year and appears on your first statement for tuition and fees. If you have coverage under another plan you can go online (http://www.eiia.org/willamette) after July 1, 2009 to waive out of Willamette's student insurance plan. This plan must be waived by September 20, 2009 if you do not need the insurance coverage for the 2009-10 academic year. If you waive out of the insurance plan please review your student account on QuikPAY, or JASON, to verify that the health insurance waiver has been credited on your account. For further information about health insurance please contact the Student Insurance Office at 503-370-6972.

Advance Deposit: $350
