Admission Procedures for Summer High School Enrollment Program

The Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Program is not available during summer sessions. However, Summer High School Enrollment is available for those high school students in the 11th and 12th grade levels who may wish to take classes during the summer months. This includes PSEO students who may wish to take summer courses.* The Minnesota Department of Education does not fund the courses taken through the Summer High School Enrollment Program; therefore, tuition, fees and books are the student's responsibility.

*PSEO students who are enrolled during the spring semester and who will continue as a PSEO student in the fall semester do not need to re-apply for the Summer High School Enrollment program.

• High school juniors: Must be in the upper one-third of their class, or score at or above 70th percentile on any nationally standardized, norm-referenced test.
• High school seniors: Must be in the upper one-half of their class, or score at or above the 50th percentile on any nationally standardized, norm-referenced test.

Individuals interested in applying for the Summer High School Enrollment Program should contact the Normandale Admissions Office at 952-358-8208 and request the general application form. They must complete and return the general application form along with the $20 application fee, an official high school transcript reflecting class rank and a letter from a parent or guardian that consents to their child/dependent's admission to the program and indicates they accept responsibility for tuition, fees and textbooks. Official ITED, ACT, SAT, PLAN or PSAT scores are required if class rank is not available.

Summer High School Enrollment applicants must verify their readiness for college-level courses through test scores or Normandale's Course Readiness Assessment. Individuals interested in possible waivers from the Course Readiness Assessment must submit ACT, SAT, Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or other scores to the Office of Admissions at the time they apply for admission. (See the Course Readiness Waiver section for further information.) Summer High School Enrollment students may not enroll in courses numbered below 1000. Applicants are accepted to the Summer program only and are not considered students in the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program nor admitted general enrollment students at Normandale Community College.

Summer High School Enrollment students may also be eligible to earn college credits through the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program during the fall and spring terms. However, students wishing to participate in this program must notify the Office of Admissions to update their status and submit a Minnesota Department of Education Notice of Registration form.

Students who wish to continue their college education at Normandale after their high school graduation do not need to reapply but must notify the Office of Admissions to update their student status.
