Catamount Commitment
NC Promise: The State of North Carolina established the NC Promise Tuition Plan to increase access
to a quality university education by reducing student costs. Through NC Promise, tuition
for all undergraduate students at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµhas been reduced to $500 per fall and spring semesters for in-state students
and $3,500 for out-of-state students entering for the Summer 2026 term. The State
of North Carolina is supplementing this cost by matching dollar for dollar the difference
between WCU's full cost of tuition and the NC Promise Tuition Plan cost so that students
pay less. Earn acceptance, enroll as an undergraduate, and reap the savings every
fall and spring term. ncpromise.wcu.edu
