This course is for new college students in their first semester of enrollment at UMN Morris. PSEO students may not take this course.
Some classes have fees associated with them. It can be a flat fee for enrolling in the class or a fee assessed per credit. PSEO students may not take courses that have an associated course fee with the exception of ArtS courses where the fee is covered by the UMN Morris Art Club.
PSEO students are restricted from taking some UMN Morris major courses. In Schedule Builder, if the course is restricted to a certain student population, it will be listed in the prerequisite section for the course (e.g. to enroll in BIOL 1111 you need to be a biology major/minor, chemistry major or health sciences preprofessional program or ELEd or SeEd major with a middle school science specialty). PSEO students should not email the instructor to gain access to these courses; contact your PSEO advisor if you have questions. See Course Mode, Prerequisites and Reserved Seating below.
PSEO students may take Honors courses if there is space in the class. The honors program per the University-wide policy is for undergraduate degree-seeking students. PSEO students are non-degree seeking students, so they are not automatically eligible.
If seats remain open in an honors course, any student may enroll in that class, including non-degree seeking students.
If a non-degree seeking student completes an honors course and later is accepted into the UMN Morris honors program as a degree seeking student--and the requirements for the honors program have not changed.--that student should be able to apply that course to the honors program.
Please see Honors FAQ. Contact the Honors Coordinator for more information.

Study Abroad and Experiential Courses
The fees for study abroad and experiential learning options are not credit-based, but rather they are calculated as a package that includes tuition and books, room and board, transportation, and other miscellaneous items. As such, the PSEO program cannot cover these costs.
Students may pay out of pocket for this experience as long as they are 18 years old at the time of the abroad experience and meet all other eligibility requirements. Students that choose this option are responsible for all tuition and fees associated with the course and travel.
If you are considering coming to UMN Morris as an undergraduate and want to explore your study abroad options, visit the UMN Morris Academic Center for Enrichment: Study Abroad.
Summer Courses and Credits
PSEO funding is not available for summer as there is no general education revenue available. Courses offered during UMN Morris Summer Term (May Session, Summer Session I, Summer Session II and Full Summer Session) are not covered by the PSEO program. This includes summer research practicums, summer directed studies and summer internships.
PSEO students are welcome to take summer term courses and credits as non degree-seeking students at their own expense.
Note: High school students who wish to take a course as a non-degree seeking student after they graduate from high school should check with the institution they plan to enroll in for the next academic year before registering for summer courses. This is because taking courses after high school graduation could affect your first year status, potential first year scholarships and financial aid.
