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. As of March 2023, the Traditional and Accelerated Nursing programs are eligible for the WUE tuition rate.

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 are awarded this tuition rate during the admission process.
