WICHE WUE

WUE is the Western Undergraduate Exchange, a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Through WUE, students in western states/territories (AK, AZ, CA, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, ND, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam) may enroll in many two-year and four-year college programs at a reduced tuition level: 150 percent of the institution’s regular resident tuition. WUE tuition is considerably less than non-resident tuition.

Student (23 years of age or older) or parent/legal guardian (for students under the age of 23) must have domicile in an approved western state for 12-months preceding the first day of classes and claim that state as their home of permanent residence


Please note: If you are requesting to be a part of the WUE program, you are indicating you are not a Colorado resident and will not establish Colorado residency during your time of attendance at MSU Denver. If you plan to establish your residency in Colorado and would like to petition for in-state benefits at MSU Denver during your time of attendance, it is recommended you do not claim another state as your state of residence.
