WESTERN UNDERGRADUATE EXCHANGE (WUE) - UVU

WESTERN UNDERGRADUATE EXCHANGE (WUE)
APPLICATION SELECTION
UVU accepts 54 students per semester into the WUE program. Entering freshmen, readmitted students
and transfer students are eligible. UVU makes no attempt to advertise or otherwise notify perspective
WUE students of the availability or other aspects of this program. The individual applying for this
program must fill out the WUE application (see below) and will be processed on a first come, first served
basis. There is usually a waiting list of 200 students which can take up to 2 years to be offered a spot on
WUE, and UVU makes no guarantee that a student will receive the scholarship.
If you have any questions contact Andrew Stone via email at andrew.stone@uvu.edu.
***It is essential that UVU has your current local and permanent addresses and telephone
numbers. Otherwise you may not receive the information you need to continue the
program. If we make an attempt to contact you and can not do so, you will forfeit your spot
on the waiting list and the WUE scholarship.***
Applicants accepted into the WUE program, sign an "acceptance contract" stating they understand the
conditions of the program. Students on the WUE program are not able to gain Utah residency during
any semester they are a WUE participant. Time in Utah cannot be counted towards the residency
requirement.
STATES OF RESIDENCE QUALIFYING UNDER THE "WUE" PROGRAM AT UVU
Only applicants whose legal residence is one of the following western states are eligible for this program:
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming.
TUITION
Applicants admitted as WUE students will be assessed 150% of resident tuition each academic semester
of enrollment under the WUE program. The WUE student will be notified at the time of initial enrollment
that he/she must request continuation of WUE status for each subsequent semester of registration as a
WUE student.
If a student is found to be registered in non-qualifying classes or in a non-qualifying major they will
be dropped from the WUE program and will be charged the regular nonresident tuition.
GPA
The minimum GPA requirement for a student to be offered WUE (if already attending UVU) or to
maintain WUE is 2.0.
