Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a state program that allows tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students to enroll in courses at a college and earn both high school and college credit while still in high school. Only enrollment in and successful completion of college-level, nonsectarian courses at eligible participating postsecondary institutions apply. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. 

Please note: Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses. Eleventh and twelfth​-grade students may take PSEO courses on a full- or part-time basis. Tenth graders may take only one career/technical PSEO course. If they earn at least a grade C in that class, they may take additional career/technical PSEO courses. There is no charge to PSEO students for tuition, books or fees for items that are required to participate in a course. Students must meet the PSEO eligibility requirements. 

Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.09, subdivision 7, to assist the district in planning, a pupil must inform the district by October 30th (for Spring semester), and May 30th (for Fall semester) of each year the pupil’s intent to enroll in PSEO courses during the following academic term.  A pupil is bound by notifying or not notifying the district by October 30th (for Spring semester), and May 30th (for Fall semester).  An MDE Notice of Student Registration form must be submitted for each semester that the student is enrolling in PSEO.

Any student interested in PSEO should attend the annual "How to Earn College Credit in High School" presentation at FHS held towards the end of January.  The student is required to meet with their counselor to discuss if it is right for them.  These meetings should be scheduled after the Faribault High School registration has been completed.
