Key Deadlines Overview
There are two kinds of PSEO deadlines to know: notification deadlines(set by state law, the same for everyone) and college application deadlines(each college sets its own).
May 30
Fall Enrollment
Tell your school district you're doing PSEO in the fall semester.
October 30
Spring Enrollment
Tell your school district you're doing PSEO in the spring semester.
These Deadlines Are Required by Law
District Notification Deadlines
Before you can do PSEO, you have to tell your school district you're planning to take college classes. This lets them plan for scheduling and funding.
| Enrollment Term | Notification Deadline | Classes Begin |
|---|---|---|
| Fall 2026 | May 30 | August/September |
| Spring 2027 | October 30 | January |
For Private School & Homeschool Students
College Application Deadlines
Besides telling your district, you also have to apply to and be accepted by a PSEO college. Each college sets its own deadlines.
Rolling Admissions
Many community colleges accept PSEO applications year-round. Apply early for the best class choices, but there's usually flexibility.
Fixed Deadlines
Universities and competitive programs have hard cutoffs. Check each school, since these can land 2 to 6 months before the term starts.
Priority Deadlines
Some schools have priority deadlines that get you better class choices or a guaranteed spot. Hitting these gives you an edge.

Parent/Guardian signs (if under 18)
Your parent or guardian reviews and signs their section.

What If I Miss a Deadline?
Don't panic if you miss a deadline. There are often options:
Missed District Notification Deadline
Talk to your counselor right away. Districts can waive the deadline case by case. Be ready to explain why you missed it and show you're set for PSEO.
Missed College Application Deadline
Reach out to the college's PSEO coordinator. A lot of colleges are flexible and may still take you if there's space. Or apply for the next term.
NOSR Form Taking Too Long
Follow up with whoever has the form. If your counselor is slow, check in politely. If the college is slow, call their PSEO office. Use myPSEO to track status and send reminders.
