INTRODUCTION
In order to implement the statutory authority and the formal interstate agreement negotiated between the two states, this administrative agreement has been prepared to specify administrative procedures of the program.

DURATION OF THE AGREEMENT AND PROCEDURES FOR MODIFICATION
This memorandum is subject to the principles and conditions of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Public Higher Education Reciprocity Agreement and is to be effective July 1, 1998. The memorandum is subject to annual review by both administrative agencies.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
To insure procedural regularity and compatibility, the two administering agencies have agreed to follow the procedures outlined in this memorandum:

1. Public Information
After formal adoption of the agreement, each agency executive will direct a detailed written communication regarding the administration of the program to the institutions of post-secondary education, all secondary schools, and other interested individuals, and organizations in his state. Prior to the start of each academic year, the two administering agencies will cooperatively develop and implement training workshops for personnel from participating institutions of higher education if such workshops are deemed necessary by both agencies.

2. Application Form
A common application and procedure will be used in both states. All students from each state will complete the same application and submit it to the respective administering agency in their home states. Both new and continuing students will use the same application. The application will require general and institutional information. Each administering agency will print a supply of applications on paper of a mutually agreed upon color for distribution to institutions of post-secondary education in its home state, and secondary schools in its home state. Either state may adopt a paperless application process, in lieu of or in addition to, the paper application. The student needs to complete one application. This application will provide reciprocity for the student in continuous attendance. Should the student not attend an institution for 365 days, the student must reapply for reciprocity. Should a change in the student's residence occur, the student and/or the institutions must notify the appropriate administering agency in writing of the change.

3. Residency
The administering agency in the student's home state will make a determination of residency based on the information provided by the student during the application process. The agency reserves the right to refuse eligibility if the information provided by the student does not substantiate the claim of residency.

4. Approval and Certification Year
Once eligibility is determined, it shall continue through the academic year for which certification has been granted. Should a student's residency status for fee assessment purposes change during the academic year, the originating state's responsibility to the student under the agreement will cease with the beginning of the first term following establishment of residency in the other state. The certification year begins with the Fall of each academic year and ends with the last Summer session or workshop which begins before the first day of the Fall term of the succeeding academic year. The student that is in attendance and has earned credits during the 1998-99 academic year, will automatically have reciprocity benefits renewed for the 1999-2000 academic year unless notification has been received by the administering agency of a change in residency.

5. Application Deadline
Applications must be postmarked or electronically submitted no later than the last day of scheduled classes of the first term or semester for which the student expects to receive benefits under the agreement. Eligibility shall continue for the remainder of the academic/certification year. The administering agencies will cooperate in a mutual exchange of academic calendar information.

6. Coordinative Procedures
Periodically throughout the certification year, the administering agencies will exchange alphabetical listings of all residents of their respective states who are participating in the reciprocity program. The administering agencies will also provide alphabetical listings of their state's residents eligible for participation in the agreement to the designated institutions of post-secondary education in the other state. Nothing shall prohibit agencies from exchanging data in electronic format.

7. Institutional Monitoring
Each administering agency will be responsible for monitoring institutions in its home state for compliance with the provisions and spirit of the agreement.

PROCEDURE FOR COMPUTATION OF INTERSTATE REIMBURSEMENT

1. Definition of Terms
