POSTSECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTIONS (PSEO)
A program that allows primarily juniors and seniors to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level, nonsectarian courses at eligible participating postsecondary institutions. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses. Eleventh and 12th grade students may take PSEO courses on a full- or part-time basis; 10th graders are eligible to enroll in PSEO on a more limited basis.

IMPORTANT: Register for your 18 BHS classes before you prepare for PSEO
