PSEO
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
The Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Program is designed to offer high school students with demonstrated academic achievement the opportunity to take college level courses while attending high school. The PSEO program allows high school students to earn college credits and, with the high school's permission, to use those credits toward the completion of their high school graduation requirements. Under the PSEO program, students attend Normandale free of charge. Tuition, fees and required textbook costs are paid by the Minnesota Department of Education.
High school seniors must rank in the top one-half of their class. High school juniors must rank in the top one-third of their class. Equivalent ACT or PSAT scores may also be considered. Students must also place in college level reading on the Normandale course readiness assessment.
High school sophomores and freshmen who have exceptional academic achievement and aptitude may be eligible. This decision is based on the recommendation of the high school counselor or principal and an interview with the student and the student's parent(s).
Information on the application process for this program at Normandale can be obtained by clicking on PSEO-Normandale or contact the Office of Admissions (952) 487-8208.
POST SECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTION FORM
PSEO students must turn in a PSEO authorization form each semester to be enrolled in the PSEO program. The form must be signed by an official from the student's home school district and turned in to the Business Office prior to the start of the semester. Books can not be picked up or charged if we have not received this form.
The PSEO program is not available during Summer Session.
WHAT IS COVERED?
PSEO covers tuition and required books and supplies for college level courses (level 1000 and higher). Payment for classes under 1000 must be made prior to obtaining required books for courses over level 1000.
INVOICES
PSEO students will not be sent invoices. You must view your account online. Tuition and fees will remain on the student's account until 20 days after the semester begins. Please notify the Business Office if you notice any charges on your account after the 20th day of the semester.
To obtain book purchasing dates, click on "Book Purchasing Dates". Payment for classes under 1000 must be made prior to obtaining books! PSEO students may charge their required books in the Bookstore during the book purchasing dates. If you drop your class(es) within the first 10-days of the semester your books need to be returned to the Bookstore. The Department of Children, Families and Learning will not reimburse Normandale for tuition or books for dropped courses. All books charged under the PSEO program, other then dropped courses must be returned to the Bookstore during finals week.
** Books that are not returned will be billed to the student. **

The Business Office staff will issue you a new book voucher, which you will use to itemize your purchased supplies. You must attach your original receipts to the voucher.
