Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)
If you’re a nonresident in one of 15 western states, you may be eligible to attend SLCC at a reduced-tuition rate while maintaining residency in your home state, through the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program.
Nonresident tuition at SLCC can cost 200 percent more than resident tuition. Participation in WUE lowers that to just 50 percent more, plus your regular student fees.
Participating states include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
The time you’re enrolled at SLCC as a WUE student does not count toward permanent Utah residency.
Salt Lake Community College allows WUE students to enroll in all programs except Dental Hygiene, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapy Assistant, Radiology Technology, Surgical Technology, and Medical Assistant. Restricted programs are subject to change each academic year, based on enrollment.
