The Minnesota-South Dakota Tuition Reciprocity Program allows South Dakota residents to attend public postsecondary institutions in Minnesota at rates below those charged other non-residents. South Dakota residents planning to attend one of the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities, Crookston, Duluth, Morris, and Rochester) locations must apply to the Board of Regents for reciprocity status. South Dakota residents planning to attend a Minnesota state university or community college are not required to apply for reciprocity. These Minnesota institutions should assign reciprocity automatically.
