Reciprocity Agreements

Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota

Any student who is a legal resident of Wisconsin, North Dakota or South Dakota may attend a Minnesota public institution and pay a reduced non-resident tuition rate.

The Minnesota Office of Higher Education (MOHE) provides information about reciprocity and online or downloadable reciprocity applications at www.getreadyforcollege.org. Click "Online Applications", then on "Tuition Reciprocity". Additional links on the left menu of the screen provide application instructions and information about each state's reciprocity agreements. Alternatively, students may contact their home state's higher education board for reciprocity information.
