How PSEO works

Four steps from your kitchen table to your first college class.

1

Check if you qualify

PSEO is open to Minnesota students in grades 10–12. Each of the 60+ participating colleges sets its own GPA minimum — some as low as 2.0, some as high as 3.6.

2

Pick a college

Community colleges, public universities, private colleges, tribal colleges. Most run on a semester system; a few on quarters. You can apply to up to three at once.

3

File your NOSR

The Notice of Student Registration is Minnesota's official PSEO form. It needs three signatures — yours (and a parent's if you're under 18), your high school counselor's, and your college's. Notify your district by May 30 for fall or October 30 for spring.

4

Start taking classes

Tuition, fees, and textbooks are paid by the state. The credits count toward your high school graduation and transfer to most universities nationwide.

Two tools to lean on

One answers your questions right now. The other helps you plan your terms once you are taking classes.

PSEO Advisor

Ask anything about PSEO

Example

Can I take PSEO classes if I'm homeschooled?

Yes, homeschool students are eligible in Minnesota. You'll need to meet the college's GPA requirements, notify your resident district by the May 30 or October 30 deadline, and complete the NOSR form with a parent signature.

I'm a junior with a 3.2 GPA. What can I get into?

A 3.2 as a junior clears most of Minnesota PSEO. You'd be eligible for:

  • Every community and technical college
  • Most public universities
  • Many private colleges

A few ask for more, like the U of M Twin Cities. Want the full list?

Course Suggester

Reads your college audit, suggests what to take next

Example

Your audit says

24 of 60 credits done

Three goals still open in the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, the general education boxes every Minnesota college asks you to check.

So we'd suggest these next

  • ENGL 1021Goal 14 cr

    Composition

    Your last writing requirement, and most majors want it done early.

  • BIOL 1120Goal 34 cr

    General Biology

    Covers your lab science goal in a single term.

  • MATH 1114Goal 44 cr

    College Algebra

    Opens up statistics and calculus later on.

That would put you at 36 of 60.

Already in a college class? Upload your audit and we will help you plan the rest. Not there yet? It will be waiting when you are.
