HIBBING — Minnesota North announced it will no longer charge non-resident tuition rates at its colleges beginning the next academic year.
This means all students, regardless of their state of residence, will pay no more than resident students.
In a news release, the institution reported students from neighboring reciprocity states — like Wisconsin, North Dakota and Manitoba, Canada — may still benefit from existing agreements for reduced tuition rates.
South Dakota announced its intent to terminate the Minnesota-South Dakota Public Higher Education Reciprocity Agreement beginning with the 2024-25 academic year. But South Dakota students enrolled at Minnesota North under the program will continue to receive the reciprocity rate to complete their degree programs.
A total of 364 non-resident and non-reciprocity students paid more because of this tuition difference last year, according to the college.
Minnesota North has campuses in Hibbing, Grand Rapids, Eveleth, Virginia, International Falls and Ely.
