Admission, Fees, and Financial Aid

PSEOP

The Post Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) allows eligible high school students in grades 9-12 take approved college courses while still in high school. Eligible students must meet the following criteria:

• 3.25 GPA
• 21 ACT or 1000 SAT
• For Fall admission, test must be taken by April. For Spring admission, test must be taken by October
• ACT code: 3299
• SAT code: 1509
• Completion of college prep units:
• Seniors: 13/16 college prep units
• Juniors: 9/16 college prep units
• Sophomores: 5/16 college prep units

Students must be enrolled in a public or nonpublic high school to participate. Homeschooled students are not eligible to participate in the program as such and must enroll in either a public or nonpublic high school to participate. Students may participate in one of two ways:

1. Option A allows the public, community or nonpublic high school student to choose, upon enrollment, college credit or both high school and college credit. In this case, the cost of the program is funded entirely by the student's family.
2. Option B allows the student to receive both high school and college credit. For public high school and community school students, there is no transfer of tuition between student and college. The high school's state foundation will pay the college directly. If the student is enrolled in a nonpublic high school, the cost is subsidized by funds set aside by the Ohio General Assembly in each biennium and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. In order to receive this funding, the student must provide the state with form SF-PS-140NPP and a copy of their letter of acceptance from the university. Public, community or nonpublic high school students electing this option will not be required to pay for tuition or books.

Homeschooled students must enroll in either a non-public school or in the public school in the district in which they live to participate in PSEOP.
