Eligibility
In partnership with the University of Minnesota, at least one resident per household must be actively enrolled at the University under specific academic titles to meet eligibility requirements. Applicants are also prioritized based on academic and familial status; yet, residents are invited to live at the co-op with or without a family.
Eligible Statuses
Our co-op houses graduate students, upper-level undergraduate students (sophomore, junior, or senior), limited professionals in training, and post-docs. See full list of eligible job codes, including those specified as "limited professionals in training." The University of Minnesota determines our eligibility standards, in which the exclusivity of these academic standings is unfortunately indisputable.
Families and Individuals Welcome
It is not a requirement for eligible graduates, upper-level undergraduates, limited professionals in training, or post-docs to live with a spouse/domestic partner and/or any children. Yet, applicants with families have priority over others with equivalent academic statuses.
Academic Credentials
One individual in each household must meet academic guidelines during two consecutive semesters of each academic year as a actively enrolled, full time student.Roommates of single students and family members do not need to meet the eligibility requirements when living with an eligible student.
