Additional Resources
Residency and Reciprocity
Resident tuition applies to students who are residents of Minnesota.
If there is uncertainty about whether you are considered a Minnesota resident, review the Residency, Reciprocity, and Tuition Exemption booklet. The booklet contains the University's official policy and an application for resident evaluation.
The University has reciprocity agreements with the states of Wisconsin, North Dakota, and the province of Manitoba, Canada. If you are a resident of any of these states or provinces, you may qualify for reciprocity tuition rates that are lower than non-resident tuition rates and, in some cases, comparable to resident rates.
Nonresident and international students will be considered for a reduced tuition rate at the time of admission.
International Students
International students should review the information on our Financial Certification page for a full review of estimated expenses.

96% of first-year students receive financial aid. UMN Morris has a variety of financial aid programs to help you realize your educational goals and we’re ready to make the experience as easy as possible. Together, we’ll make sure you get the financial aid you need for a great education.
Free Credits
UMN Morris has a tuition band, which means if you take more than 13 credits in a single semester, those additional credits are free of charge. This is a great savings, as many students take an average of 15 credits per semester in order to graduate in four years.
