To accept your offer of admission from UW Bothell, you must:
1: Create your UW NetID
Your UW NetID is your key to accessing UW services — from accepting your admission offer to registering for classes. Use your application login to set up your NetID. Your NetID will also be used to create your UW email address: You’ll just add @uw.edu. Once you set up your NetID, it can’t be changed, so pick something you’ll want to use for all purposes!

Now that you have your official UW NetID, you can use it to log in and pay your non-refundable and non-transferable Enrollment Confirmation Deposit. Once you start taking classes, this deposit will be credited toward your first quarter’s tuition and fees. If you decide not to attend UW Bothell, this deposit cannot be refunded or transferred. Transfer students must pay their deposit within 20 days of receiving their offer of admission.
