EHS Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Information
Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows highly motivated 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade students to earn college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level courses. With traditional PSEO, these courses are generally offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. The cost of tuition, course fees, and textbooks is covered by the Minnesota Department of Education.
EHS requires both parents AND students to view our EHS PSEO Informational Video prior to registration for PSEO. After watching the video, students and parents should read through the EHS PSEO Information and Permission form and return to their student’s counselor. The informational video and signed permission form will suffice for the EHS required meeting.
Students should still register for a full year of EHS classes for the 2022-2023 school year even if they plan on taking PSEO classes. The MN State Department of Education deadline for notifying EHS about your intention to participate in PSEO is May 30th.
T2 Grade/Pass Option Deadline is January 31, 2022:
1. Students may take ONE class per trimester with the Grade/Pass Option. 2. With a final course grade of 60% or more and completed essential learning tasks, students have an OPTION to receive their course grade, or a “P”. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this choice to their instructor. 3. With a grade of “P”, students will RECEIVE CREDIT for the course. 4. A grade of “P” will NOT count toward 24 credit “honors status” at graduation. 5. A grade of “P” has NO EFFECT on Grade Point Average (GPA).
The application and more details for Grade/Pass option is available HERE
