Take college courses while you attend high school through the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) program. Credits you earn count toward high school graduation and a college degree.
Students may take classes on the Normandale campus or online, either full-time or part-time. Tuition, fees, and required textbooks and materials are covered at no cost to the student.
The PSEO program gives you access to a greater variety of courses and more challenging classes that may not be available at your high school.
The application instructions below are for new PSEO students only.

PSEO students can take most courses offered at Normandale in fall and spring semesters, with a few exceptions. 10th grade students admitted for Career and Technical Education (CTE) are limited to a select list of courses their first semester. Concurrent Enrollment students are taking coursework for college credit at their high school that is taught by a high school instructor.
Summer enrollment is not covered by the PSEO program; students are financially responsible for any coursework taken in the summer.
Take Normandale classes offered at your high school for juniors and seniors.
Take on campus or online classes during the summer when PSEO is not offered.
Tuition and fees are not charged to the student for PSEO coursework. Some supplies, transportation, and summer coursework are the financial responsibility of the student.
"With Normandale, I was able to be introduced to what I can do in college. I’ve met really good teachers here who helped me expand and improve my writing throughout the semester. I’m really thankful for that."
“I would tell other high school students to take advantage of PSEO. It gets you prepared for college and shows you what the real world is going to be like. Plus, everything is paid for, so why not?"
“I definitely recommend PSEO. It’s such a good way to complete college requirements while you’re still in high school, and it’s free! Normandale is such a supportive network full of great faculty and great people."
