There are five elements to the postbaccalaureate application. They are:

1. Your application
2. Application Fee
3. Statement of Purpose
4. Official College Transcripts
5. Letters of Recommendation

The application form must be accompanied by an application fee of $50. Send a check or money order (U.S. dollars only) payable to the University of Washington. Do not send cash. The application fee is nonrefundable and must be submitted each time you apply.

If you cannot afford the application fee, request a fee waiver by writing a short note of explanation to the Office of Admissions.
