Postsecondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) Information

Counselors host a Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) informational meeting each January for the following school year.

Students interested in participating in the Postsecondary Enrollment Option Program must make an appointment to meet their counselor with their parents. Generally, Juniors must be in the top 33% of their class and Seniors must be in the top 50% of their class to participate. However, colleges and universities individually set their admissions requirements so some may be higher. Students and parents should check directly with the colleges for their specific PSEOP requirements.

Campus Visits

Students are encouraged to make an appointment to visit each college campus that they are interested in attending by contacting the admissions office. The admissions office will be able to set up a tour of the school and all facilities, including the residence halls and dining areas. Many colleges also have virtual visits on their website. You may also be able to meet with some professors of the major that you are interested in. Some schools offer overnight visits so incoming students can get a true experience by staying in a residence hall with current students. Visiting each campus will give you an idea of what going to school will be like there.
