How to Prepare for Your Application Lab:
Our Application Labs can be attended virtually or in person, giving you flexibility to choose the format that works best for you. Each lab offers a 30-minute one-on-one session to help you complete your MN Promise Act application with personalized support.
If you choose a virtual session, please ensure you are able to upload all required documents digitally before or during your appointment. If this presents a challenge, we strongly recommend attending in person so our team can assist you directly.
To make the most of your time, please review the checklist below and come fully prepared with all required documents.
