Student Services & Resources
UW non-degree students have access to many services and resources on campus, including:
Campus Safety
The Campus Community Safety site has resources related to campus safety and emergency preparedness, including the UW Alert system.
Career Services
Non-degree students are welcome to attend workshops, info sessions and career fairs held by the Career & Internship Center. For a fee, you can also access Handshake, a job networking platform for college students, on a quarterly basis.
Disability Services
The Disability Services Office strives to help make the UW community more accessible for all. If you are a non-degree student seeking accommodations for a permanent or temporary disability, contact the office for assistance.
Food Services
Looking for a place to eat or grab a coffee on campus? Housing & Food Services provides a list of restaurant and cafe options, including hours of operation.
Husky Health Center
The Husky Health Center is an outpatient facility that offers quality health care services to UW students and their dependents, to faculty and staff, and to the general public. Check with your insurance provider to see if Husky Health Center services are covered.
Housing
While nonmatriculated and graduate nonmatriculated students are eligible to live in campus housing, they have the lowest priority for assignment. This means that they are typically unable to be assigned housing for autumn quarter due to high demand. For information on housing options and how to apply, visit the Housing & Food Services website.
Husky Card
The Husky Card is the official identification card for members of the UW community. It provides access to a variety of services and opportunities, including UW library services.
Husky SafeTrip
Husky SafeTrip provides safe vehicle escort at night with a uniformed security guard. Use Husky SafeTrip to safely get from campus to your home, to your car or to another UW building within the SafeTrip service area.
IT Support
Having technical issues? Technical Support is available to help with issues such as account access (e.g., NetID, Canvas, etc.) and course technologies (e.g., Zoom, Google Drive, Mediasite). You can reach Technical Support at ctnmhelp@uw.edu or by phone at 206-221-1393 during support hours.
Regular support hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
During the first two weeks of the quarter, there are extended support hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays.
UW-IT offers discounted software, collaboration tools and other technical resources for UW students. Some resources may only be available if you’ve paid the technology or computer account fees.
Library Services
The University of Washington library system offers access to millions of print volumes and many online resources. Non-degree students can check out materials at UW libraries beginning the first day of the quarter for which they are enrolled. Your student ID (Husky Card) serves as your library card.
MyUW
MyUW is the hub for online resources at the UW. Through MyUW, you can check your course enrollment status and schedule. You can also access your final grades and print an unofficial transcript. You need a UW NetID to access MyUW.
Transportation and Parking
Explore options for getting to and around the UW. Transportation Services provides information about transit, biking, parking and more.
Non-degree students taking credit courses may purchase a U-PASS through Non-Degree Registration Services for $150 per quarter. If you purchase a quarterly U-PASS, it will be valid for the calendar (not academic) quarter. See instructions for activating and using your U-PASS. Students taking noncredit courses are not eligible to purchase a U-PASS.
University Book Store
The University Book Store stocks textbooks required for UW classes as well as Husky apparel and a large selection of general, reference and children's books. You can order books over the phone and have them mailed to you (shipping costs may apply).
