Quick Summary
Every student is “college material.” It is with that mindset that the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (OHE) is launching Direct Admissions Minnesota. This new pilot program will notify graduating high school seniors of participating colleges and universities that are eager to admit them.

This new program promotes college application and attendance for 2023 graduating seniors in participating pilot high schools during the 2022-2023 school year. A direct admissions system bypasses the typical college admissions process by proactively admitting students to college. Students will receive letters indicating they have met the criteria for admissions to participating colleges. The letters will outline the steps required for students to select institution(s) using a common or universal application.
Direct Admissions Minnesota is a partnership project between K-12 and higher education, led by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. The program was made possible with funding by the Minnesota Legislature during the 2021 legislative session.
