Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)

WUE is the Western Undergraduate Exchange, a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Through WUE, students in western states may enroll in many two-year and four-year college programs at a reduced tuition level: 150% of the institution’s resident tuition.

• Be a legal resident of participating states–Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming. Texas residents, while not officially included in the WICHE consortium, are also invited to attend Eastern Arizona College as WUE eligible.
• Be admitted to Eastern Arizona College.
• Maintain full-time student status while on the waiver having an annual accumulation of 24 credit hours at a minimum 2.0 GPA.
