All Consortium applicants, please read carefully before beginning the enrollment confirmation process
When you applied to Foster through The Consortium, an application account was created for you in the University of Washington Graduate School application portal. An email from University of Washington Graduate Admissions went out to you earlier in the admissions process informing you of this and included steps to access your account and reset your password. If you took the steps necessary earlier in the application cycle to access this account and have viewed your admission decision, then you have access to this account. Proceed to Step 1 to pay your Enrollment Confirmation Deposit.
If you are unsure or do not remember how to access the University of Washington Graduate School application portal, then simply utilize the “reset password” feature to access your application portal. You must use the email address with which you applied to The Consortium to locate your applicant record. Once you have reset your password and can navigate into the Application Status page, please continue with the appropriate steps listed below to accept your offer.
Accept Your Offer
If you have been awarded a Consortium Fellowship of full tuition and fees, please follow the enrollment steps below for Consortium Fellowship Recipients. For all other Consortium applicants, please follow the enrollment steps for All Other Consortium Applicants.
Congratulations on your Consortium Fellowship award! The Consortium Fellowship award covers full tuition and fees.
Fellows are asked to pay the $1,000 Enrollment Confirmation Deposit. This is a tuition deposit, which holds your spot in the program, and is reimbursed to you on your student account upon enrollment in Autumn 2025. You do not need to pay the Orientation Fee, as it is included with the fellowship award offer. Please note the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit is non-refundable if you later elect to not enter the program.
Step 1: Pay the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit
The $1,000 Enrollment Confirmation Deposit is a tuition deposit and will be applied to your first quarter’s tuition.
To Pay the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD), return to the Graduate Application portal and follow the steps for accepting your offer.
Log in to the Application Status page
Note: We highly recommend that you electronically save or print a copy of your enrollment confirmation deposit for your records.

Next Steps: Join the MBA Class of 2027 Site
Once you accept your offer and both the enrollment confirmation deposit and orientation fee payment are received, we will reach out to you via email to confirm receipt and enrollment in the Class of 2027. Later this winter, you will receive detailed information regarding accessing the MBA Class of 2027 site.
The MBA Class of 2027 site will help keep you on track as you prepare for the Foster MBA, including tips about moving to Seattle, upcoming deadlines and to-do items, academics, career management resources, student life and events, and more.
MBA Program Launch (Orientation)
All new students are expected on campus for MBA Program Launch on August 25. Students studying on a F-1 Visa will also be required to attend International Student Orientation starting August 20. We will share the schedule for MBA Program Launch closer to the beginning of the academic year.
Please note that MBA Program Launch is for first-year MBA students and there is required programming Monday-Friday throughout September. Portions of MBA Program Launch are degree requirements, and all components set students up for academic and professional success.
It’s important to note the Full-time MBA Program’s academic calendar slightly differs from the University of Washington’s academic calendar. More information will be shared during the required Incoming Student webinars held this summer.
Required Summer Incoming Student Webinars
To prepare students for MBA Program Launch and the academic year, the MBA Student Affairs team will host Incoming Student Webinars this summer. Incoming MBAs are required to attend one remote session. More information and registration will be posted to the Class of 2027 site later this spring.
Declining Your Offer of Admission
While we certainly hope you are joining Foster, if you wish to decline your offer of admission, we ask that you communicate this to us by the enrollment confirmation deadline. Please return to the UW Graduate Admissions Application portal, and upon logging in take the steps to decline your offer. You will be prompted to fill out a survey regarding your decision to decline your admissions to the University of Washington. While completely optional, we hope you will consider taking a few minutes to complete the survey to share feedback with the Foster MBA Admissions team about your experience with our program, staff, and students. Your feedback is valued and critical to us to help us review ways we can improve in the future. We appreciate you taking the time to complete the decline survey and wish you all the best at the MBA program and university you have selected.
