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 2024. 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.

Later this winter, you will receive detailed information regarding accessing the MBA Class of 2026 Canvas page.

The MBA Class of 2026 Canvas page 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 26. 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 and on Canvas.

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 Canvas later this spring.
