Minnesota Tuition Reciprocity

1. A student who has graduated from a Minnesota High School within the 12 month period prior to the first term of enrollment will not be required to complete a reciprocity participation application.
    
2. A student who was enrolled, received reciprocity, and earned credits during any term of the academic year will automatically have benefits renewed for the following term at the same institution.
    
3. Any student who is enrolling and has taken a break in semesters or is a transfer student, must complete a new reciprocity participation application.
    
4. Returning students who have previously filed for tuition reciprocity but have not enrolled in a course or earned credit at NDSU during the past academic year need to re-file for reciprocity through the state of Minnesota.
