Coon Rapids High School Student PSEO Hub

Welcome to the CRHS PSEO Hub!

Here you will find many resources that will hopefully answer many questions you may have about the Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) process. Take a moment to review these resources and contact your assigned School Counselor with any questions you have.

Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 10th, 11th and 12th grade students to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college nonsectarian courses at any eligible postsecondary institution in Minnesota. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Students must meet the PSEO residency and eligibility requirements and abide by participation limits specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.09. To assist the district in planning, a student must inform the district/charter school by May 30 (for fall term enrollment) or October 30 (for spring term enrollment) of their intent to enroll in postsecondary courses. The district/charter school must provide counseling services to students and their parents or guardian before the student enrolls in courses to ensure that the students and their parents or guardian are fully aware of the risks and possible consequences of enrolling in postsecondary courses. This option is for independent, highly responsible and motivated students. Please review the Minnesota Department of Education statement on the program.
