What is WRGP/WICHE?
The Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) is coordinated by the Western Interstate Commission of Higher Education (WICHE) and provides a reduction in non-resident graduate tuition. WRGP/WICHE is intended for those who can prove residency in a qualified WRGP/WICHE state and are admitted to an approved program.
Are online programs eligible?
Online programs are not eligible for WRGP/WICHE.
Do I need to re-apply for WRGP every semester?
No, once you have been approved, you will remain approved throughout your program. If you change to a different program, you will no longer receive the WRGP tuition rate.
Do students in concurrent programs qualify for WRGP/WICHE?
Student pursuing concurrent programs may only apply if both programs are approved WRGP/WICHE programs. See the programs tab for the full list of approved programs.
Who do I contact for academic program questions?
Students should contact the academic unit directly for any program related questions. To find the contact information for an academic unit, click on the program link on the program tab. The department contact information is located at the bottom of the program page.
Can an RA or TA receive the WRGP/WICHE tuition rate?
Students cannot be a RA/TA and also receive the WRGP/WICHE tuition discount.
What happens if I miss the application deadline?
Applications received after the posted deadlines will be considered for the future term.
What happens after I submit my application to the Graduate College?
Applicants will be notified via email once applications have been evaluated and a decision has been made. Applications are reviewed once the posted deadline has passed. Early decisions are not granted.
