The PSEO program is responsible for upholding the Minnesota Statute on PSEO and abides by the Minnesota Department of Education’s guidance. Below you will find information on unique policies and information that impact PSEO student enrollment and participation. More information on the PSEO program can be found here: Minnesota Department of Education PSEO.
Course Restrictions: Some classes are not eligible for PSEO students to enroll in and use PSEO funding. A list of ineligible courses for PSEO students can be found here: PSEO Ineligibility.
Registration at Multiple Colleges: The Minnesota Department of Education will only cover PSEO expenses billed by the institution(s) to which PSEO students have been admitted. If a student registers for an Anoka-Ramsey course, but is not admitted to the PSEO program, they will be responsible for any tuition, fees, and supplies. They must follow the steps outlines under the Non-PSEO/Summer High School Student section. Similarly, Anoka-Ramsey students that register for other colleges, where they have not been admitted, will be responsible for their tuition to the other institution.
Students may participate in PSEO through multiple colleges but must be admitted at each institution as a PSEO student and cannot go over the credit limit of a full-time student.
Attendance: PSEO students are responsible for attending their college classes, even if their high school is not in session. Breaks and start/end dates are often different between the high school and college. Students that have anticipated absences due to high school activities must work with their college instructor in advance and there is no guarantee that they will be excused or provided other opportunities to address missed work.
Academic Performance: PSEO students are expected to adhere to all college policies and to perform at a satisfactory level. Students are expected to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and complete at least 66.67% of the courses they register for.
Changing High Schools: Students who change high schools after admission to the PSEO program are responsible for notifying Anoka-Ramsey by submitting a new PSEO Notice of Student Registration form and new high school transcript for the school they will be attending as soon as possible. PSEO funding relies on accurate information, so students should reach out as soon as they anticipate a change and our PSEO team can help walk students through the process to update their information on file.
Repeat Courses: PSEO students cannot repeat courses they have previously completed (with a grade of A - D). If a student wishes to repeat a course in which they earned an A – D, the student will need to submit a Financial Responsibility Agreement and pay out of pocket for the course.
PSEO Balance: PSEO students will see a balance on their account in eServices. This balance will clear midway through the semester and accepted students do not need to pay any balance for eligible PSEO courses.
