Minnesota/Wisconsin Reciprocity
Minnesota/Wisconsin Tuition Reciprocity
The states of Wisconsin and Minnesota have a reciprocity agreement, meaning that students can pay in-state tuition costs when attending schools in Minnesota, which is often a substantial savings over having to pay out-of-state tuition. Students need to fill out a form requesting that this be done. The form is usually available starting in April of the same year.
