The Summer High School Enrollment Program (SHEP) at Normandale lets you earn college credit during the summer.
High school students entering the 10th, 11th and 12th grades can earn credits when Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) and concurrent enrollment funding is not available.
Summer session classes are accelerated: you’ll cover 15 weeks of curriculum in 5-7 weeks during the summer. Students spend much more time in class each day, and you will need to plan for study time.
Tuition, fees, and books are the student's responsibility. The Minnesota Department of Education does not fund these courses. Financial aid is not available. Some summer session classes may begin before your high school's term has ended. Students are expected to attend classes at the college.
Contact the Normandale Admissions Office at 952-358-8208. Current Normandale PSEO students who want to take summer classes can proceed with registration and do not need to apply in advance.
Please complete these application materials and return them by email (as PDF attachments):
You will be notified of your admission status by email at the address from which you applied.
The program is available to high school students entering 10th - 12th grades in the fall. If you have already graduated high school, apply for undergraduate admission instead.
You must meet required pre-requisite courses or placement levels prior to registration. Reading, English, math, and certain other courses may require course placements.
Applicants are accepted to the summer program only. You are not considered students in the PSEO program, nor admitted as general enrollment students. For fall and spring terms, apply to the PSEO program.
If you wish to continue your college education at Normandale after high school graduation, you do not need to reapply. However, you must notify the Office of Admissions to update your student status.
