Tuition is $6,400 for Cascade's Executive Management Program (EMP) and covers the cost of:
- Materials and instruction for the entire two-week residential course
- Continental breakfasts, lunches, afternoon snacks, and some dinners with high-quality menus options, including vegetarian items for weekdays when the program is in session (participants are on their own for some dinners and all weekend meals)
- Lodging at a hotel near the University of Washington campus that is within walking distance of shops and restaurants for weekdays that the program is in session (accommodations are arranged by Cascade Executive Programs, but participants are on their own for weekend lodging)

Cancellation Policy
A participant may withdraw or substitute a qualified applicant without penalty on or before Monday, June 4, 2012. Qualifications of substitute candidates must be confirmed by Cascade Executive Programs. Cancellations after June 4, 2012 will result in a $2,500 cancellation fee. Full course tuition will be charged for participants who do not cancel by the deadline and who fail to show on the first day of the session for which they are registered. Cancellations must be received in writing and require a written response from Cascade Executive Programs to be in effect. If a registrant fails to attend without notification, full tuition is required. Please note that failure to submit payment does not cancel you from the course.
