What is WUE?

WUE is a state exchange program with participants from Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Students can attend participating public colleges or universities in the western states at a significantly reduced cost.

Residents of the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI) are also eligible to receive the special WUE tuition rate.

How do I apply?

You will automatically receive the WUE award upon admission to Humboldt.

How much is it?

The 2021-22 estimated tuition and fees cost for a WUE student is $10,732.

The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun.

All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees.
