Out of an abundance of caution and after considering the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and MN Department of Health’s recommendations, the FTI of the Upper Midwest’s campus will close to all students on March 16, 2020, and remain closed until reopening on April 13, 2020.

Apprentices: School leadership is coordinating with and receiving guidance from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry to determine appropriate next steps to be compliant with state statutes – more information to follow shortly.

Continuing Education: Will reschedule accordingly. School leadership is reviewing the status of STAR qualifications—more information to follow shortly.

Occupational Advisory Committees (OAC): Meetings scheduled during the school closure will be canceled.
