The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program allows high school 10th, 11th and 12th grade students to earn credits that can meet high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning transferable college credits. Dual credit courses offer high school students the opportunity to enroll in rigorous courses that further prepare them for postsecondary education. Inver Hills allows PSEO students to take courses that are held on our beautiful Inver Grove Heights campus or online either full time or part time. PSEO offers students a wide variety of class offerings as well as the opportunity to pursue more challenging coursework than may be available at the high school.
The PSEO program covers the cost of tuition, fees, and required textbooks and materials for college level courses taken for high school credit. Students who continue their education beyond high school can transfer their PSEO coursework as college credits, saving both time and money to complete a college degree.
PSEO students are responsible for providing their own transportation to campus. Parking is available on campus and you do not need a special permit. Inver Hills is on the Metro Transit bus route and offers the College Pass discount. Reimbursement for transportation expenses may be available through the school district if the family’s income level is at or below the federal poverty guidelines.

All new PSEO students are required to complete our Online PSEO Orientation before they will be allowed to register for classes. You will receive instructions to complete your orientation along with your acceptance email. This is not a live presentation, so you will be able to complete it at a time that is convenient for you, and you can expect to spend about one hour to complete it. You will have an opportunity to work with an Academic Advisor after you have completed your orientation, and then you will be able to register for your classes. You can view our Class Schedule in order to begin selecting your classes.
Here are a few of the things you will learn:
Students must meet one or more of the guidelines listed below.
All 10th grade students in their first semester, or 11th or 12th grade students admitted with the restriction of taking only Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, may enroll in one CTE course during their first semester. If the student receives a grade of "C" or higher in the course, and they meet the college placement requirements and course prerequisites, the student may take both General Education and CTE courses in subsequent semesters, and they may take up to 16 credits each semester. This includes 10th grade students in their second semester.
11th and 12th Grade Students that do not meet the Admission Guidelines shown above may be eligible to take Career and Technical Education courses. Please complete all of the application steps shown above if you are interested in this course option.
