PSEO - St. Cloud State University

SCSU Application Process

  1. Review the PSEO page on SCSU's website.

  2. Do you meet the criteria to enroll?

a. High School without Class Rank Students applying for PSEO from high schools that do not rank graduates must have a 3.5 GPA (to be eligible as a junior) and a 3.0 GPA (to be eligible as a senior) or meet the standardized test score minimums.

b. Testing Requirement Students who do not meet the rank requirement may gain admission by submitting an ACT score of a 23 or above (excluding writing), a Pre-ACT score of a 22 or above, SAT score of 1070 (Math & Critical Reading), or a composite index of 1070 on the PSAT.

  1. Program Deadlines Complete files (application, registration form, transcripts, test scores as required) must be received or postmarked by program deadlines (May 1 for fall enrollment; November 1 for spring enrollment). Any student submitting forms or test scores after the posted deadlines will not be considered for PSEO enrollment.

  2. Students seeking to enroll in the PSEO program at SCSU must also submit the three items listed below. Complete a and c and bring them to the counseling office. We will print your high school transcript. Please pay attention to the above deadlines and give the Counseling Office at least 1 week to complete our part and get it in the mail.

a. A completed PSEO program application

b. An official high school/home school transcript

c. A current 2022-2023 Notice of Student Registration form

Before we mail your application, you must also complete the Student Contract Form and the Email/Contact Form

  1. Meet with your counselor to review graduation requirements and what types of courses align with our graduation requirements.

  2. Pay attention to all mail and email communications you receive from the college as there will be pertinent information regarding signing up for orientation, academic advising and registering for classes.

  3. Remember if you are a full-time PSEO student, you will not receive a school issued computer.

  4. Provide a copy of your schedule to your counselor at SHS immediately after registration.

  5. If you are struggling in your classes, meet with your PSEO Advisor first and let your School Counselor know. We want to make sure that your ability to graduate is not at risk.

  6. Provide a copy of your grades to your School Counselor upon completion of each semester as this information needs to be added to your High School transcript.
