  • Students are eligible for only one course from this list in their first semester. A student must complete their first Career and Technical Education (CTE) course at Normandale to register for subsequent CTE and PSEO courses at Normandale. Earning a grade of "C" or better in that course allows for enrollment in any post-secondary courses approved for PSEO in subsequent semesters. Contact your assigned advisor regarding course selection and registration.

Normandale and Minnesota State policy limit the number of college credits that any student can enroll in each term. During fall and spring semesters, students may register for up to 18 credits. Registration for 19 or more credits requires written approval from an academic advisor or counselor. Minnesota State restricts students to a maximum term enrollment of 22 credits System-wide.

Students planning to participate in both PSEO and Concurrent Enrollment, and/or PSEO at multiple institutions, are responsible for ensuring they are complying with credit limits. Failure to comply will impact registration. 

• Course tuition, required fees, and required textbooks.
• Consumable supplies required specifically for a class, such as art supplies, film, etc.

Note: Due to Minnesota law, textbooks and materials must be returned. These items become the property of Normandale upon completion of the course. Unreturned textbooks are charged to the student. See more about textbooks and course materials.

• General school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, etc.
• Non-consumable supplies such as instrument rental, uniforms, etc.
• Transportation costs.
  • Some PSEO students may be eligible for assistance with transportation costs. To be eligible, a student's family must be under the federal poverty income guidelines. Students who qualify will work with their district on the reimbursement process. Apply for travel assistance through the Minnesota Department of Education.
• Courses taken during the summer.
  • If a high school student chooses to enroll in courses during the summer term, the cost of tuition, fees, and books are the student's responsibility. Students who have not attended Normandale previously will need to apply as general undergraduate students.
  • Currently enrolled PSEO students do not have to re-apply to take summer courses, but may need to request an override to register from their Academic Advisor or Student Services.
