If you are unable to access the other options and need to drop off your payment on campus, a secure drop box is located outside Dougan (DOU) 176 for check drop-off and is processed weekly.

When using the dropbox, please put your check inside the envelope and fill out the label clearly. Seal and place the envelope in the slot and make sure it drops down correctly. A receipt will be emailed when your payment is processed.

Payments sent directly to the UW Tacoma may experience delays in processing.
