PSEO Program Options and General Guidelines
Students, please visit the Guidance Office to obtain a PSEO application.
You are encouraged to start the
application process early and allow ample time for teachers/counselors
to write letters of recommendation if required.
For
the University of Minnesota, you must download the application for PSEO
or call. Please be advised that the deadlines are firm and more
students are applying.
Two year
public schools require their free assessment test. Make time in your
schedule to go to the college and take this free, un-timed test!
Remember: Tuition, books and equipment are free for high school PSEO students. Tools and cosmetology kits are not. Students
are required to return all textbooks and equipment to the college after
the course has ended.
Make
an appointment to meet with your Guidance Counselor as soon as
possible. In college, 1st semester classes usually start in AUGUST
U of M starts in early September and end in DECEMBER. 2nd semester classes usually start in JANUARY and end in MAY. Be aware!
