North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin residents may attend public institutions in Minnesota on the same basis that Minnesota residents attend these institutions. These students are charged special tuition fees similar to those charged to Minnesota residents. Admission requirements are similar to those for Minnesota residents. Potential out-of-state students interested in attending Minnesota institutions of higher education should contact their high school counselors, or the following respective state offices for reciprocity applications:

Changes in the application forms for reciprocity occur each year. New forms are typically available during the month of April at the offices indicated above.

 

DETERMINATION OF RESIDENCY

Residence status of students shall be determined at the time of registration. The permanent residence of the student’s parents (or guardian if approved by the chancellor or designee), is considered for students under 21 years of age. For students 21 years of age or older, the student’s permanent residence is considered.

Students may establish eligibility for in-state tuition by demonstrating domicile in Minnesota before the beginning of any semester. Students have the burden of proving domicile for purposes on instate tuition. Several facts and circumstances will be considered when processing an application for instate tuition. These facts and circumstances are outlined in MnSCU Board Policy 2.2, Part 2, Subparts B and C, which is located on the Minnesota State website located here.

Information is subject to change.

Testimonials
My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.
I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.
