Fees will apply. 

Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MinnState) uses an e-Transcript system, so students don't need to send or pay for official transcripts between schools.

Once accepted to the receiving institution, contact your college’s registrar or records office.

MinnState includes 26 colleges and 7 universities across 54 campuses in Minnesota.

Note: The University of Minnesota is not part of the MinnState system.
