Oregon Community Colleges

Oregon Community Colleges with Dormitories

Treasure Valley Community College, Central Oregon Community College, and Southwestern Oregon Community College

*Even though community colleges have a rolling admission policy, there is generally only one scholarship deadline per year, usually in the winter/spring. Keep that in mind when you are applying, because if you are counting on financial assistance and you apply two weeks before classes begin, your chances of receiving financial help will decrease. Contact each school for more information about financial aid and admission deadlines or visit their websites.

Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)

America’s largest regional interstate tuition savings program

The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is an agreement among WICHE’s 16 member states and territories, through which 160+ participating public colleges and universities provide steep nonresident tuition savings for Western students.

Through WUE, eligible students can choose from hundreds of undergraduate programs outside their home state, and pay no more than 150 percent of that institution’s resident tuition rate.

Since full nonresident college tuition rates may exceed 300 percent of resident rates, WUE increases affordable higher-education choices for students and minimizes the adverse impacts of student loan debt.
