Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)

In order to be admitted as a PSEO student, students must determine eligibility for admission by consulting with their high school counselor. If the student is eligible, the application includes the following:

• Admissions Application

• High School Transcript

• Minnesota Department of Education [MDE] PSEO Notice of Student Registration Form

• Tribal Enrollment/Verification Form, if applicable (Tribal enrollment card or certification letter acceptable)

• Accuplacer Placement Test and RLNC Technology test to determine the appropriate sequence of classes

• Vaccination/Immunization Record (if applicable)

 

It is best to visit with one’s high school counselor to find out exactly how many credits are needed at the College to meet high school requirements for graduation. PSEO students are allowed to take only six (6) semester credits per term at RLNC. The Vice President of Operations and Academic Affairs, the high school counselor and/or principal must approve any requests for a heavier credit load.

​

Once admitted, students must maintain a 2.0 or above grade point average (GPA) each term to remain eligible for the program. Provided the classes are successfully passed, credits will be awarded through RLNC.  A college transcript will be established, just as it is for every RLNC student. This is a permanent record, and credits can be transferred to another college at the discretion of the transferring institution. If a class, which is required for high school graduation, is not passed, the student might not be able to graduate with their high school class.

​

All RLNC PSEO students are assigned a student success counselor and a faculty advisor (the instructor of the course) who act as liaisons between RLNC, the student, high school officials, and parents, when necessary.  This person is the official point of contact for PSEO students whenever they have questions or concerns about their classes or administrative issues at the College.

​

A PSEO student may officially withdraw from college courses within the first twelve (12) weeks of classes (the Last Day to Officially Withdraw is listed for each semester in the Academic Calendar, found in the RLNC Catalog, in the Student Handbook, and on the RLNC website). All withdrawals must be officially made through the Registrar’s Office. PSEO students must also contact their high school counselor to inform them of their decision to withdraw. After the withdrawal date has passed, the student is expected to finish the term or meet with a college advisor regarding their continued enrollment, as withdrawing from a class may affect meeting high school graduation requirements.  

​

PSEO students are not eligible for on-campus work-study or regular payroll positions.
