A student who is in 10th grade and has attained a passing score ("meets and exceeds" or score of 850) on the 8th grade MN Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) in reading and meets any of the other course prerequisites or course enrollment standards established by the college, including but not limited to assessment test scores, program admission or other requirements of the Career Technical Course they wish to enroll in. Sophomores are allowed to take one career technical education (CTE) course during the first semester of enrollment. If the student receives a grade of a C or better in the course, the student shall be allowed to take additional courses in the subsequent term.
Juniors and Seniors can take one career and technical education course as a PSEO/Concurrent Enrollment student regardless of class rank or GPA if they meet academic readiness standards, are a public school student, have a test score that meets or exceeds the standards on the 8th grade MCA reading test and meets all of the course prerequisites, Accuplacer cut scores, or other course enrollment standards established by the college. Each subsequent semester if they were successful in the career and technical course, students can take additional career and technical courses or general education courses regardless of their class rank or GPA as long as they meet any all of the course prerequisites, Accuplacer cut scores, or other course enrollment standards established by the college.
