This private support gave the University an added margin of excellence and the flexibility to respond to special opportunities. These dollars provided instruction to more than 38,000 students and funded 4,700 research awards. Electronically, of course. Many of these important activities once meant spending hours in line. As a leader in computing and communications, the UW has streamlined many of the basic business transactions that students have with the University.
Students are more productive.
Staff time and money are saved. Consider the example of Hsun Wen Chang. Hsun has student loans and other financial aid to help with her tuition. As a sophomore, she is a pre-major in business and wants to make certain that the classes she is taking will apply toward her graduation requirements. In one session on MyUW, Hsun can see that her financial aid has been deposited to her bank account, her tuition payment was made electronically, and also that she needs an additional science course to graduate.
