Campus Resources for PSEO Students

UMN Morris Resources

Attending university classes while in high school is rewarding, but is also difficult. PSEO students who did not seek academic support prior to starting the PSEO program have sometimes struggled to acknowledge their need to seek help. However, it is extremely important that communicate any academic concerns with the PSEO Adviser and your instructor(s) before it becomes a problem. They can help you find the resources you need to succeed. Please remember that poor performance in courses as a PSEO student may impact admissibility to undergraduate programs.

There are two study rooms located on the first floor, two on the second floor (main floor) that is shared with the Office of Academic Success during the day, five on the third floor, and two on the fourth floor.
