South Dakota/Minnesota Reciprocity
According to the South Dakota Board of Regents: The reciprocity agreement between South Dakota and Minnesota is not being renewed for the academic year 2024 – 2025 and will begin winding down for students currently enrolled under the agreement. For students currently enrolled under the existing reciprocity agreement, the process for setting reciprocal rates will remain in effect as these students work towards completion of their degree(s). New Minnesota students enrolling at one of South Dakota’s public universities starting in Fall 2024 will receive the South Dakota Advantage tuition rate, which is equivalent to in-state tuition in South Dakota and is a lower tuition rate than Minnesota students would have received under the former Minnesota reciprocity agreement. New South Dakota students looking to enroll at an institution in Minnesota starting in Fall 2024 will be charged the rate set by Minnesota institutions and their higher education system for South Dakota students. South Dakota has no part in setting rates for South Dakota students attending Minnesota institutions.
According to the South Dakota Board of Regents: The reciprocity agreement between South Dakota and Minnesota was not renewed for the academic year 2024 – 2025. Our state has excellent higher education institutions and opportunities, and our goal as the public university system is to grow South Dakota’s workforce.
