Western Undergraduate Exchange Program Reduced Tuition
Yavapai College participates in the Western Undergraduate Exchange Program (WUE), a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Residents of eligible states (currently Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming) that enroll in any of Yavapai College’s WUE-eligible programs in seven (7) credit hours or more will pay a reduced out-of-state tuition. The Digital Filmmaking certificate programs and the Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing are not WUE-eligible.
Time enrolled under WUE status does not count toward establishing Arizona residency for tuition purposes.

Transcripts will be evaluated to determine how much credit will be granted for transfer courses toward satisfying Yavapai College degree and certificate requirements.
Yavapai College only accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions on a credit-unit-for- credit-unit basis (adjusted for semester/quarter terms). Course equivalencies are established based on alignment of the course description and learning outcomes. Only courses 100-level or above with a grade of “C” or better will be considered for transfer credit. Yavapai College accepts only transfer credits, no grade point averages.
