Residency Information
For the purposes of assessing tuition, the
definition of residency varies with individual states. It is highly
recommended that applicants contact the appropriate state authority
for information regarding residency requirements as early in the
application process as possible.
Residency issues are handled by the
WSU Office of the Registrar not by the College of Veterinary

WICHE
WSU College of Veterinary Medicine is a participant
and receiving school in the Western Interstate Commission on Higher
Education (WICHE) exchange program. The WICHE exchange program helps
students in the Western states enroll in select, out-of-state professional
programs not offered in their home states, as well as providing financial
support for that professional program.
WICHE member states that participate in the
Veterinary Medicine "sending" program include:
Arizona
Hawaii
Montana
Nevada
New Mexico
North Dakota
Utah
Wyoming
Applicants from WICHE states should contact the WICHE office in their home
state to determine what certification requirements apply to them. (See
Application Procedures) Under the terms of the WICHE Compact, a
certified student admitted from a WICHE state is sponsored by his/her home
state and pays resident tuition and fees only. Students must apply to their
home states for certification no later than October 15. Additional
information may be obtained from:

Out of Area
Information for Out-of-Area Applicants Applicants who are not residents
of the State of Washington are considered in the out-of-area applicant pool.
Applicants who are not selected for the contracted Idaho seats or for
funding by their WICHE state are also placed in the out-of-area applicant
pool. Prospective applicants should realize that a large volume of
out-of-state applications exists compared to the relatively low number of
out-of-state positions available at the WSU Collegex of Veterinary Medicine
and, consequently, a high proportion of successful applications will be from
Tier I candidates. (See
2008
