Subject: FW: UPDATED WICHE INFORMATION FOR ADVISING STAFF TO PROVIDE TO
STUDENTS DURING THE 2011-12 ACADEMIC YEAR

Please distribute the attached information to students you feel may be
interested in this opportunity.  Students may also go to
<http://www.wiche.edu/wrgp> www.wiche.edu/wrgp for additional information. 

Thank you. 

We are pleased to advise you that President Sander has reappointed you as
WICHE Campus Coordinator for the University of Arizona.  As the WICHE
Coordinator, we are seeking your assistance in informing all  advising staff
on your campus that the WICHE-Professional Student Exchange Program (PSEP)
is available to students who seek professional training in the following
fields:  DENTISTRY, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, OPTOMETRY, OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE,
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT, and VETERINARY MEDICINE. 

Attached is a copy of WICHE PSEP brochure, and a flyer, which we ask that
you forward to the proper departments for posting.  Also, enclosed is a
press release for your campus newspaper.  The purpose of the press release
is to get the word out that the deadline for WICHE PSEP certification for
training to commence in Fall 2012 is October 15, 2011.   Students may access
an Application for WICHE Certification at:   <http://www.azregents.edu>
www.azregents.edu, click on Special Programs and Initiatives, click on
WICHE, and click on Professional Student Exchange Program.  If students have
additional questions about the Professional Student Exchange Program, please
ask them to call the Arizona Board of Regents WICHE Certifying Office at
602-229-2500 or go to:   <http://www.azregents.edu> www.azregents.edu. 

WICHE's Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) makes many high-quality
graduate programs available to master's, graduate certificate, and Ph.D.
students, who are residents of the 15 participating states, to enroll in
some 220 high-quality programs at 45 participating institutions.
Additionally, if the desired healthcare program is not offered through PSEP,
students may check the Western Regional Graduate Program.  WRGP currently
offers access to more than 50 high-quality healthcare-related degrees
offered by some 40 public institutions.  Students who enroll in a
cooperating program outside of Arizona through WRGP pay resident tuition.
Additional information is available at:   <http://www.wiche.edu/wrgp>

Additionally, Arizona participates in the WICHE Western Undergraduate
Exchange Program (WUE.)  The Western Undergraduate Exchange provides
opportunities for students to attend a public college at the undergraduate
level, outside their home state, at a reduced level of tuition (150% of
resident tuition.)  Arizona residents may attend undergraduate programs in
all WICHE states.  The WICHE member states are Alaska, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon,
South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Attached is a copy of the Arizona Western Undergraduate Exchange brochure,
which we ask that you forward to undergraduate advisors.  They may provide
copies to students as needed.  Interested applicants should contact their
institution of choice and indicate that they would like to apply as a
Western Undergraduate Exchange applicant.  If students have additional
questions about the Western Undergraduate Exchange, please ask them to
contact the WICHE Main Office in Boulder, Colorado at 303-541-0210 or
<http://www.wiche.edu> www.wiche.edu. 

WICHE's newest exchange is the Internet Course Exchange (ICE) an alliance of
member institutions and systems that broadens student access to online
courses and programs.  WICHE ICE is an institutional tool that enables
students to seamlessly access other two- and four-year institutions' courses
while using the advisory, registration, and financial aid services provided
at their home campuses.  Additional information is available at:
<http://www.wiche.edu/ice> www.wiche.edu/ice.

Your assistance is appreciated in getting the word out to all the advising
staff on your campus about these unique opportunities for UA students.

Please let us know if we can provide additional information.
