If I apply to a community college BEFORE I enter a University would this void my eligibility of becoming approved for the WUE program since I would not be considered as an undergraduate student anymore?



You will still be an undergraduate student if you attend a CC first, but you would be a transfer rather than a freshman applicant, so you need to take a look at the CSU Sac website to see how applying as a transfer differs from fr application. Also, you should email the CSU Sac WUE administrator and ask about any possible differences in acceptance to WUE for fr vs. transfer students (see the first FAQ for the email address):

[Frequently Asked Questions, WUE :: Sacramento State](http://www.csus.edu/wue/faq.stm)

I would also ask them if acceptance to WUE is automatic with acceptance to the college, or if it is selective. It varies between WUE schools, for instance at the UOregon, WUE is administered much like a merit scholarship and is selective.
