Western Undergraduate Exchange
(WUE)

First-time freshman undergraduate students from participating states may be eligible for a reduced tuition rate through WUE. To be designated a WUE Scholar for the 2010-2011 academic year, a student:

• Must be admitted to and enroll at Colorado State University as a first-time freshman student.
  
• Must satisfy WUE Academic Criteria (see chart below).
  
• Must be a resident of a participating state for tuition classification purposes (See list below).
  

The Office of Admissions mails notification of WUE Scholar designation after an applicant has been admitted and eligibility requirements have been verified.

Important Notes regarding WUE Eligibility

• WUE Scholars are not eligible for a Presidential, Provost's, or Deans' Scholarship.
• All freshman applicants are encouraged to meet the February 1 priority application deadline for fall admission; however, WUE awards are granted for each academic term on a rolling basis provided applicants have met all other application deadlines.
  
• Admitted freshmen who do not meet WUE criteria at the point of admission can submit new, updated information (i.e., test scores and/or transcripts) for WUE consideration up until one month prior to the start of the academic term for which they have been admitted.
  
• Admitted freshmen who do not meet WUE eligibility requirements at least one month prior to the start of their first term of enrollment cannot qualify for WUE after enrolling at Colorado State University.
• As funding allows, Colorado State may award WUE to additional students slightly below this sliding scale, provided they demonstrate exceptional academic accomplishment through rigorous curriculum and other holistic factors derived from the application review.
  

^ ACT composite or SAT combined scores must be from one test sitting.

* SAT scores include critical reading and mathematics subscores only; do not include writing scores.
