Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)
How to earn college credits while still in High School
What is PSEO?
The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEO) is a Minnesota state program * that allows advanced high school students to take college-level courses while still in high school. Eligible juniors and seniors take courses that earn both high school and college credit at the same time, for the same courses. These courses also apply toward high school class rank and high school graduation. The State of Minnesota provides for the tuition, fees and required textbooks, which helps to keep college more affordable. Technical or career programs may require the student to pay for tools, clothing, consumable or personal supplies. Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) courses transfer to universities and colleges throughout the Midwest, including the University of Minnesota.

Who is eligible to participate?
High School juniors and seniors, as well as Home-Schooled juniors and seniors, are eligible. Riverland Community College requires that juniors must rank in the upper one-third of their class or score at or above the 70th percentile on a nationally standardized, norm-referenced test; seniors must rank in the upper one-half of their class or score at or above the 50th percentile on a nationally standardized, norm-referenced test. In addition, students must score at college level on the course placement test, called the Accuplacer/ CPT.Plan Early
Your decision to participate is an important one, and should be made only after consulting with parents and a high school counselor to determine if you are eligible and if this program would be of benefit to you. Students planning to attend for the Fall semester should apply in the Spring of the prior year. Those who wish to start in the Spring semester should apply in the Fall of that year.August 4 for Fall start, and
December 1 for Spring start.
