Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) FAQ’s
What is Post-Secondary Enrollment Options? Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that offers high school
students the opportunity to take college-level courses. The credits earned can apply towards both high school graduation
and college degree requirements. This program was created to provide rigorous academic challenges to qualified students.
District dollars cover the cost of tuition, fees, and required books.
Note: The PSEO program does not pay for developmental courses (those numbered below 1000), test outs, food, housing,
uniforms, tools, special fees, or travel abroad fees.
What should students consider before applying? Attending College is an important life decision and should be considered carefully.
PSEO students are afforded the same rights and responsibilities as all college students, and must be able to:
• Take full responsibility for managing time and assignments
• Make room for more study time outside of class, with fewer instructions on how and what to study.
• Handle multiple deadlines without reminders
• Take initiative to seek help when needed
Student who try to work or participate in extracurricular activities more than 20 hours per week tend to have great
difficulty keeping up with the faster pace of college. In fact, students can expect to spend two hours outside of class in
preparation for every one hour of classroom lecture. Social maturity is also important in working with older student and in
handling the academic challenge of college.
What are the eligibility requirements? PSEO is available to juniors and seniors enrolled through any Minnesota public school,
private school, home school, or alternative learning center who present evidence of the ability to perform college work.
Such evidence includes the following:
Liberal Arts - General Education/Transfer
CTE – Career and Technical Education
• Juniors:
o HS class rank – upper 1/3 of their class, OR
o HS GPA – 3.0 cumulative GPA
• Seniors:
o HS class rank – upper 1/2 of their class, OR
o HS GPA – 2.5 cumulative GPA
• Students must also have college level placement to be
placed into college level courses.
Students seeking PSEO in a technical program must
demonstrate the ability to successfully complete
coursework at a “C” level or higher.
The student’s academic record, GPA, class rank, and
standardized test results are reviewed to determine
admission eligibility.
How do I apply? The PSEO application materials are included in this packet. Please read over the packet carefully and follow all
instructions. You will need signatures of high school personnel and parents, so plan ahead and apply early. Doing this will
ensure timely consideration of your application.
I have taken the ACT or SAT; do I still need to take the Accuplacer placement test? If you have qualifying scores on either the ACT
or SAT, you can have one or both (Math and Reading) portions of the Accuplacer waived. Include a copy of your test scores
with your application.
ACT Scores: Reading 21 or higher, Math 22 or higher
SAT Scores: ERW 480 or higher, Math 530 or higher
If you have qualifying ACT/SAT scores, please submit your completed application packet, MDE Billing Form, HS Transcript,
and test scores to:

PSEO Schedule: It is the student’s responsibility to review each course he/she registers for and know
attendance policy and expectations of each course. If there are scheduling conflicts, it is the student’s
responsibility to arrange around these conflicts. Students should note that it is the instructor’s right to

those days in which your high school is not in session.
Pre-College/Developmental Courses: Students will not be enrolled in Pre-College/Developmental courses that
are not covered by PSEO unless the student indicates that he or she wants to be placed in a
developmental course. By indicating this request, a PSEO student acknowledges that he/she is
responsible for the PSEO EXEMPT course and all fees associated with that course.
PSEO Exempt courses: If a student enrolls in a PSEO exempt course, the student will be responsible for the
payment of all costs associated with their enrollment including tuition, student fees, books, and supplies.

official college record and will be held to Ridgewater College Satisfactory Academic Progress standards of
a minimum GPA of 2.0 and minimum course completion rate of 66.67% passing.
Responsibilities: It is the student’s responsibility to know course syllabus rules/expectations/policies for each
class. It is the student’s responsibility to understand and comply with important college policies as
outlined in the catalog and handbook (i.e. refund policy, satisfactory academic progress, registration,
etc.).
It is the student’s responsibility to know his/her high school requirements, communicate the schedule
and any changes to the schedule between the high school and college. Students are responsible for
knowing who their academic advisor is and scheduling regular advising/registration appointments.
PSEO Costs Covered: The State of Minnesota covers PSEO student’s tuition, fees, required books, and parking
permit. The student is responsible for purchasing all supplies that become personal possessions (tools,
calculators, CPR kits, etc.) PSEO students MUST RETURN ALL BOOKS & MATERIALS to the college
bookstore by the Friday of the student’s final exams (each semester). Books that are late will be
charged at a 75% rate. Books that are not returned will be charged full price and a hold will be placed on
the student’s record prohibiting registration and obtaining official transcripts.
Authorization to Release: PSEO Students are a protected class under the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA). If an “Authorization to Release Information” form is not on file, information
regarding a PSEO student can only be shared with the student’s high school/alternative learning school.

on the college website.

Bookstore Guidelines
What does PSEO cover? PSEO program will pay for all required materials that are not going to be kept by the
student. Approved materials include but are not limited to: Art kits, required textbooks, periodic table
and composition book (chemistry). Do not remove the shrink-wrap from new books until you decide
to stay in the course. Students who drop a course then go to return a new book that is not shrink-
wrapped will be charged for the material if it is for a dropped course.
Optional or recommended textbooks are not covered by PSEO (including study guides – the list of
EXEMPT materials is subject to change). Tool kits (cosmetology, welding, etc.) safety glasses and first aid
kits are not covered by PSEO. Any developmental pre-college course that a PSEO student registers for
will be at the expense of the student. No course below 1000 will be covered by PSEO.
How do I get my books?
o Must have a photo ID present (ex: Student ID or State Driver’s License)
o Bring a copy of your official schedule
o Once books are selected, students will complete an authorization charging form in the bookstore
acknowledging they will be charged if they do not turn in books.
o Books can be ordered online at www.ridgewaterbookstore.com
● When completing online order, you will need to provide a credit card/bank card. During checkout
indicate Charge/Financial Aid payment option and type in PSEO. Only items not covered by PSEO
will be charged to the credit card. Shipping is not covered by the PSEO program.
What if I drop a class?
A student who drops a course within the first 5 days of the semester (unless otherwise noted) MUST
RETURN the books in the same condition they were picked up (ex: no scratches, pen/pencil marks, and
shrink-wrapped, if new). A student MUST have the receipt (original or copy) present. Students who
drop a course and do not return the material will be sent a bill.
What if I add a class?
Students who add a class may charge the required books/material at the bookstore.
What do I do with my books at the end of the semester?
All books must be returned to the bookstore by the last day of the semester to avoid a charge. If a
student needs to keep a book for the continuation of a class (example: science or math may do this)
then the student MUST notify the bookstore or the student will be charged. Students who do not
return their books or pay the fine for the books will have a hold put on their account. A hold will stop
the student from registering for future classes. Further, official transcripts/grades will not be released
until books are returned and fines are paid.
