Admissions Requirements

At University of Minnesota (UMN) Morris, we use a holistic review process when looking at applications. That means we consider your full academic record (grades from freshman through senior year) and, if you choose, your ACT/SAT scores. You can also share an optional personal statement or letter of recommendation.

If you’ve experienced challenges or setbacks in school, we encourage you to include a statement. This gives you the chance to tell us what you went through, how you’ve grown, and how you see yourself succeeding and contributing to the Morris community.
