Direct Admissions

United South Central is joining the Office of Higher Education and participating in DIRECT ADMISSIONS for the 2025-2026 school year!

Juniors who are ON TRACK to graduate in the Spring of 2025 will be able to participate. In late summer 2025, rising Seniors will receive information to opt-in or out of the program.

Students who opt-in will receive a personalized list of school in Minnesota where that receive automatic admission! This means they are already telling you that you are accepted! You will just have to finish the college application for each school you are interested in, send your FAFSA in January and make a decision!

Students are still welcome and encouraged to look at schools who do not participate in the program (University of Minnesota, for example) or out-of-state schools. This program allows students to see which colleges are within their reach with little or no work on their end!

Look through the list of all participating colleges. Over 50 colleges and universities in Minnesota have signed-on to participate in Direct Admissions.
