This online reciprocity application is designed for Minnesota residents attending certain public colleges and universities in Wisconsin and North Dakota.

The online reciprocity application is the easiest way to apply for reciprocity benefits. However, if you prefer not to apply online, paper applications are also available.

Minnesota residents attending public colleges or universities in South Dakota will have their eligibility for reciprocity benefits determined by the campus they attend. They should not submit an application to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.

Minnesota residents attending public technical colleges in South Dakota or Wisconsin should apply directly to the technical college for tuition reciprocity benefits because those colleges do not use this web-based application.

Minnesota residents attending college in Manitoba, Iowa or any of the states participating in the Midwestern Student Exchange Program (MSEP)—Kansas, Michigan, Missouri or Nebraska—should apply directly to the college for reduced tuition benefits because those colleges do not use this web-based application.

Private colleges do NOT participate in the tuition reciprocity program because they do not charge non-resident tuition rates.

For which academic year are you applying for benefits?

2010-2011 (Fall 2010 - Summer 2011)
2009-2010 (Fall 2009 - Summer 2010)
