We’re excited to announce that Two Rivers High School is participating in Minnesota’s Direct Admissions program this fall. This statewide initiative, led by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, makes college more accessible by automatically admitting seniors—based on their academic record and projected graduation—to a wide range of Minnesota colleges and universities. The program also waives application fees and reduces the stress of admissions by offering an early “YES!”

More than 50 Minnesota colleges and universities are part of the program, including two-year community and technical colleges, four-year public and private universities, and tribal colleges. 

Visit the Two Rivers School Procedures page to learn more about school hours, daily schedule and more.
