Background Information:

The South Dakota Board of Regents and the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board maintain a tuition reciprocity agreement.  Minnesota students will be charged the current tuition rate established through this agreement (see SDCL 13-53B-1). 

Notes:

• This special tuition rate applies only to state-support courses - for the most part, these are campus-based and involve face-to-face instruction.  It does not apply to self-support courses - those offered at learning centers and other off-campus locations or entail distance learning. 
• The regental system employs a standard fee structure; state of residency does not factor into calculation of fees. 

Application: 

For this particular program, no formal application is required.  Eligibility is determined based on information provided on the application for undergraduate admission; approval is automatically conferred at the point of processing and then documented in the student information system.
