Application Process

Completing the college application is the first step to becoming a Hennepin Technical College student. A non-refundable $20 application fee will be charged to new undergraduate applicants, which is due prior to admission acceptance to the college and can be paid online when you apply. After submitting an application, you may log in to your eServices account to check your balance, make payments, and more.

There are other steps you will need to complete before you begin classes. Be sure to review the steps to Get Started once you've applied.

Before You Apply

Determine whether you have an existing StarID or if you need to create one. You only need one StarID for all Minnesota State Schools. Do not create a new StarID if you already have one.

The following groups of students have additional application requirements:

• International Students
• Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) High School Students
• Law Enforcement, Peace Officer & Public Safety Students
• Transfer Students should schedule a meeting with a Student Success Advisor to make a career plan after applying
