Western Undergraduate Exchange Costs

The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) offers eligible undergraduate students from western states and territories a discounted rate to attend UCCS. WUE students pay 150% of the in-state tuition rate instead of the full non-resident tuition rate. The only undergraduate degree program not eligible to receive the WUE tuition rate is Nursing.

WUE eligibility is determined at the time of application, no further action is necessary. Admitted undergraduate students who are a resident of a WUE-eligible state or territory and are not Nursing majors are awarded this tuition rate during the admission process.
