If you're a Minnesota resident (including eligible undocumented students), you're eligible for reciprocity if you attend any North Dakota public college or university.

However, effective fall 2006, first-time enrollment in some professional programs may be limited or excluded, although some professional programs may still voluntarily offer lower tuition rates to students from a neighboring state outside of the formal reciprocity agreement.

Check with the college or university you plan to attend for information about tuition charges.
