Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade
students to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment
in and successful completion of college-level, nonsectarian courses at eligible participating
postsecondary institutions. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the
postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or
university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses. Eleventh and 12thgrade
students may take PSEO courses on a full- or part-time basis; 10th graders may take one
career/technical PSEO course. If they earn at least a grade C in that class, they may take
additional PSEO courses.
There is no charge to PSEO students for tuition, books or fees for items that are required to
participate in a course. Students must meet the PSEO residency and eligibility requirements
and abide by participation limits specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.09. Funds are
available to help pay transportation expenses for qualifying students to participate in PSEO
courses on college campuses. Schools must provide information to all students in grades 8-11
and their families by March 1, every year. Students must notify their school by May 30 if they
want to participate in PSEO for the following school year. For current information about the
PSEO program, visit the Minnesota Department of Education’s Postsecondary Enrollment
Options (PSEO) webpage.
