What is WUE? WUE is the Western Undergraduate Exchange, a program coordinated by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Through WUE, students in Western states may enroll in participating 2-year and 4-year public college programs at a reduced tuition level: up to 150% of the institution’s regular resident tuition. In all cases, WUE tuition is considerably less than nonresident tuition. For answers to many of the commonly asked questions about WUE and information about what institutions participate, visit www.wiche.edu/wue.

What States and U.S. Territories Participate?

Resident students from the following states and U.S.

Territories may participate, if they meet eligibility

requirements:

Alaska Idaho Oregon Montana Arizona South Dakota California Utah Colorado Washington Hawaii Wyoming Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Eligibility Many institutions require evidence of academic performance, such as ACT/ SAT test scores or high school GPA, or place other conditions on WUE enrollment. Consult the WUE website for details.

Application and Admission

Apply directly to the institution(s) of your choice for

admission and WUE tuition status. Mark prominently

on the institution’s application form that you seek

admission as a WUE student. Many institutions limit

the number of new WUE awards each year so apply

early! Consult the college admission website for

requirements and application deadlines.
