• An interstate educational opportunity for students in the states of Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin!
• Provides more affordable educational opportunities for students to attend out-of-state institutions!
• Reduced out-of-state tuition rates!

The University of Nebraska at Omaha participates in the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP), an interstate initiative established by the Midwestern Higher Education Commission to increase educational opportunities for students in its member states. This program enables residents from these 6 states to enroll in participating institutions at reduced tuition levels. Tuition for MSEP students attending participating public institutions is equal to no more than 150% of the regular in-state tuition rate. The cost to MSEP students is lower than regular non-resident tuition.

Here is an example of how the program works:

To be eligible for MSEP status at UNO, students must meet the following guidelines:

• Freshman students must reside in one of the participating states and have a minimum ACT composite score of 23 OR be in upper quartile of their class to qualify at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
• Transfer students must reside in one of the participating states and have a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade point average to qualify at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
• The student must be admitted to UNO in a degree program and have provided the required credentials necessary to determine academic qualification for the MSEP program.
• The student must advise the UNO Admission's Office that MSEP status is desired.
• The recent year's home state tax return must be provided confirming the student resides in an MSEP member state.
• The student must meet all academic performance levels required for the UNO Advantage Scholarship Program.

Students are considered a non-resident for tuition purposes. The Student Account's Office makes the appropriate tuition adjustments to the MSEP rates after the student has registered for classes. In order to receive the continued benefits of the program, the student must maintain a 3.00 cumulative grade point average. MSEP participants cannot establish residency for the purposes of paying in-state tuition.
