*The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) enables students in 16 Western states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Republic Marshall Islands, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands.) and territories to enroll at participating public colleges and universities outside of their home state and pay reduced tuition.

CWC participates in WUE, a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, a regional higher education agency that supports states, students, and institutions throughout and beyond the American West.
