University of Minnesota-Share My App Program
The U of M Share My App Program allows applicants to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus to share their application with all University of Minnesota campuses with no additional application or fee. This program was initiated to showcase the opportunities available system-wide and encourage applications to other campuses: Crookston, Duluth, Morris, and Rochester. Within one week of completing their applications to the Twin Cities campus, students will see an optional Share My App checklist item in their Application Tracker where they can fill out a short form to request us to share their application.
Students should keep the other campus application deadlines in mind to ensure they are applying on time and take appropriate steps to apply directly if they are making ???Share My App??? requests too close to the deadlines.
