POSTSECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTION (PSEO)
WHAT IS PSEO?
This program allows
eligible public or non-public high school students to enroll in classes
at Iowa Lakes Community College during the regular school day to earn
concurrent high school and college credit.
|
WHO MAY ENROLL?
An “eligible student” is
a student who is classified by the board of directors of a school
district or by the authorities in charge of an accredited nonpublic
school as a ninth or 10th grade student identified according to the
school district’s criteria as a gifted and talented child or an 11th or
12th grade student during the period the student is participating in the
enrollment option. Students must meet the ASSET or ACT requirements for
admission to Iowa Lakes Community College. Permission to enroll must be
obtained from the appropriate high school official and the student’s
parent or guardian.

WHAT CLASSES ARE ELIGIBLE?
With written approval
from the appropriate high school official, classes may be attended at
any Iowa Lakes Community College campus or online eCollege during the Fall and
Spring semesters. Summer semester and Fast Track classes do not qualify
for PSEO. A student may enroll in one or more classes as long as their
high school does not offer a comparable class. If the high school offers
a comparable class, the student will not receive high school credit and
must pay the tuition for that class taken at Iowa Lakes Community
College.
Students should consult
with their high school counselor to determine which classes qualify and
are appropriate for the individual student.
WHAT WILL IT COST?
There is no cost to the
student for a PSEO class. The school district contracts with Iowa Lakes
Community College for the cost of tuition, fees, materials and
textbooks. The student is responsible for transportation to and from the
campus. School district policy may require students to pay for classes
in which they earn non-passing grades or withdraw.
If a student elects to
enroll for Summer semester or Fast Track classes, the full cost is the
responsibility of the student.
WHAT ABOUT CREDIT TRANSFER?
Before enrolling in PSEO
classes, it is the student’s responsibility to check with his/her
counselor and the institution being considered for transfer for a
determination of which classes will be accepted for credit.
WHERE WILL I TAKE CLASSES?
Classes may be taken at
any Iowa Lakes Community College campus or online eCollege during the
Fall or Spring semesters according to the schedules for that semester.
HOW DO I START?
The student and counselor
will determine which classes are appropriate based on the student’s
needs and abilities. Once the classes are determined, the appropriate
PSEO and enrollment forms must be completed and signed by the authorized
high school official. A parent must sign the registration form if the
student is under the age of 18. Appropriate reporting forms must be
completed by the instructor and submitted to the Iowa Lakes Community
College Registrar.

Any student interested in
enrolling in PSEO classes should first contact his/her high school
counselor for information. Counselors and students may contact any of
