Reciprocity:
Students
do not have to reapply for reciprocity if they have graduated from a Minnesota
High School or earned credits at UND in the
previous
12 months. If the student must apply for reciprocity, he/she must do so through
the State of Minnesota.
If the
student applies late for
reciprocity
and does not receive
confirmation
of eligibility by the
beginning
of the term,
the student will be required to pay non-resident tuition at the time of fee
payment.
However, a refund of
non-resident fees will be made if confirmation of reciprocity eligibility is
presented to UND Student Account Services prior to the end of the term.

Education Services Office (800) 657-3866
