You must have a minimum, cumulative grade point average of 2.5. This GPA is required at the time of application, and at the completion of the term prior to exchange. If your GPA falls below a 2.5 while on exchange, your exchange will be cancelled. WCU offers two payment plans to outgoing exchange students. If Plan B is not possible, Plan A is available.
Some students choose to exchange to two separate schools for each semester.
The deadline for submitting an application for the following academic year is late February. Once you are ready to submit your application, you must meet with the Coordinator for an informal interview. The Coordinator participates in a placement conference in mid-March and will contact you shortly after to notify you if you have been placed at one of the schools you chose. There are certain privileges that come with youth, and this exchange program is an extraordinary chance to capitalize on one of them. Future exchange students should know that the unexpected might be waiting for them on exchange.
