SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION TRAINING

St. Cloud State University oﬀers a welcoming campus environment

in which students can explore their academic, personal, and social

goals while engaging positively with the Husky community. In

support of this aspiration, all new students are required to complete

the course: Sexual Violence Prevention Training (SVPT).

SVPT is a D2L course that addresses stalking, dating and domestic

violence, and sexual assault. Shortly before the semester begins,

instructions for the course will be sent to new students via their

Huskynet account (St. Cloud State University email). Students are

encouraged to complete the course prior to their arrival on campus.

By Minnesota State law, the course must be completed no later than

10 days into the semester.

GRADES

Tracking college grades is very diﬀerent from high school. Professors

may not have running grade totals, so it is the student’s responsibility

to understand expectations for each course based on the syllabus.

Remember that the grades PSEO students earn become a permanent

part of their academic record.

At the end of each semester, grades will be posted online. Students

have access to view grades at that time. e PSEO Program Oﬃce

will send transcript reports to individual high schools on behalf

of the student, however this may not align with the high school’s

schedule or needs. We encourage students to work with their high

schools to ensure grades are received in an appropriate time frame.

NOTE: We cannot send transcripts for students with outstanding

holds or ﬁnancial charges at the university. is may include parking

ﬁnes, book return ﬁnes, housing/meal plan costs, etc. Be sure your

accounts are settled in advance of the end of the semester.

SUMMER COURSES

PSEO programming is not available during the summer in

Minnesota. High school students interested in summer courses must

apply as a Special High School Student to be eligible for registration.

Students are responsible for all associated summer tuition, fees,

and textbook costs. 12th graders who have graduated from high

school may be oﬃcially admitted into the University for summer

term depending on their goals, and may be eligible for ﬁnancial aid

programs as well.

DROPPING A COURSE

Dropping a course by the deadline means the course is removed

from a student’s schedule and the course does not appear on their

transcript. PSEO students have 10 business days to drop a course

from their schedule to avoid any academic or ﬁnancial penalties.

Drops can be completed through the e-services system by the

student.

WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE

Students may still withdraw from a course after the drop period and

before the withdrawal deadline. All withdrawals are recorded on a

student’s transcript as a “W”. Withdrawals do not factor into the

student’s GPA, but does factor into a student’s Satisfactory Academic

Progress. Work closely with your advisor and high school counselor

before withdrawing from a course to ensure that it is your best

option.

COURSE LOAD

PSEO students may enroll in up to 18 credits each semester (11th

& 12th graders only, 10th graders should refer to their admission

terms). Students enrolling full-time generally register for 12-15

credits.

RESTRICTED COURSES

PSEO students may not register for independent study courses,

internship courses, ﬁeld experiences, TA courses, courses abroad,

and courses below the 100 level (or any course with developmental

components). PSEO students must meet all pre-requisite and

placement requirements for courses. PSEO students may not be

able to take courses that are “MAJOR STUDENTS ONLY” or

“BY PERMISSION ONLY”. Upper level courses at the 300/400

level should not be taken to complete high school graduation

requirements. PSEO students should speak with the professor and

their advisor before registering for an upper level course.

REGISTRATION HOLDS

A hold may be placed on a student’s account for failure to

comply with various university policies or meet established

deadlines. Holds may aﬀect a student’s ability to register, release

of transcripts, and more.

NOTICE OF STUDENT REGISTRATION (NOSR)

Students are responsible for submitting a Notice of Student

Registration Form for each semester to the PSEO Program

Oﬃce. A new form is created by the Minnesota Department of

Education each academic year and posted on the SCSU PSEO

Website. Fall semester NOSR forms are due June 1 and spring

semester NOSR forms are due Nov 1. Students that do not

submit their NOSR form by the deadline may be responsible for

all charges or may be dropped from their courses.

NEW STUDENT AGREEMENT FORM

As a St. Cloud State University (SCSU) Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) student I understand that I must adhere to the

following policies and expectations to remain eligible for the program, including the SCSU Student Code of Conduct and the

SCSU PSEO program policies:

 I understand that I am responsible for reading, understanding, and following all the guidelines and procedures listed in the

PSEO student handbook and my signed student agreement form. I understand updates to program policies and procedures will be

provided on the PSEO student D2L and to me via my SCSU email.

 I understand that I am responsible for my own attendance in my courses and my personal academic progress and success. I will take

initiative to ask questions and seek assistance from the PSEO staﬀ, my faculty members and student support services.

 I understand that I must submit my Notice of Student Registration Form (3-part NOSR form) each semester prior to registration. I

understand that if I do not submit the form that I may be responsible for the charges or that my classes may be dropped. I will

maintain a copy of my NOSR form to avoid any issues with submission or billing.

 I understand that I am responsible for scheduling an appointment with a PSEO team member each semester to discuss upcoming

course registration if I have questions.

 I understand that I must maintain a minimum cumulative SCSU GPA of 2.0 and a credit completion rate of 66.67% to continue

my participation in the program. Failure to do so will result in my immediate and permanent suspension from the PSEO program at

St. Cloud State University. I understand that I must make my own arrangements to return to my high school for subsequent terms.

 I understand that I may register for I00 and 200 level courses, which are typically introductory courses and courses for which I meet

the minimum posted requirements/pre-requisites. I understand that 300 and 400 level courses are upper division courses and are

typically major-based courses, and that a discussion with the faculty member before enrolling is appropriate and expected.

 I understand any course numbered below “100” is not covered by PSEO as they are considered developmental coursework and not

college-level work.

 I understand the oﬃcial form of communication for SCSU and the PSEO program is my SCSU email. I agree to check my SCSU

email account regularly to ensure receipt of important announcements. I am responsible for information included in the messages.

 I understand that all books and materials charged to and/or reimbursed by SCSU are property of the University. I agree to return all

books/materials charged to and/or reimbursed by SCSU to the Husky Bookstore (in Centennial Hall) during ﬁnals week. I

understand a hold will be placed on my account and that I must pay replacement costs for all items not returned on time.

 I understand that if I wish to continue my education at SCSU after high school graduation, I must apply using the Undergraduate

Application for Admission, submit an oﬃcial high school transcript following the deadlines for admission, scholarships and ﬁnancial

aid.

 I understand that I must submit a completed application for degree admission by March 1st in order to receive all beneﬁts available to

PSEO students who continue their education at SCSU. Students in good standing, having earned 15+ SCSU credits through

on campus courses by the end of spring term of their senior year may be eligible for early registration opportunities. I understand that

if I plan to continue at SCSU, I am required to participate in an Advising & Registration Program.

 I understand that as a PSEO student I must meet the same conduct and academic expectations of a degree-seeking University

student; status as a PSEO student is not an excuse for poor academic performance or conduct issues.

 I understand St. Cloud State University will notify my high school of my semester enrollment and academic performance as long as I

do not have a ﬁnancial hold on my account. I understand that my course registration and term grades will be submitted once per

term to my high school by SCSU.

COMPLETE YOUR A.A. DEGREE THROUGH PSEO

PSEO students may have the opportunity to earn an Associates of Arts (A.A.) degree. If you are interested in completing an A.A. degree

during your time as a PSEO student at St. Cloud State, here are the steps that you should take in preparation.

STEP 1: SCHEDULE AN ADVISING APPOINTMENT

the requirements of an A.A. degree and explain the steps to graduate. Visit Microsoft Bookings to schedule an A.A. degree appointment with a

PSEO staﬀ member:

• As a reminder, the A.A. degree program provides a broad liberal arts and sciences background. A.A. programs require completion of: the

liberal education program and additional credits to total at least 60 credits, excluding credits in courses numbered below 100. Students

may count AP credits, or college credits earned through other concurrent enrollment courses towards their degree. Your advisor will go

through these requirements with you, but they can also be accessed here:

https://catalog.stcloudstate.edu/libed/libed

• Completing an A.A. degree does not guarantee that you have met the requirements to graduate from high school. Remember, these

requirements should be prioritized over your A.A. degree requirements.

• We encourage you to work with the Admissions Oﬃce of the university you plan to earn your degree from, as they may suggest pre-

requisite courses to include within your A.A. degree program to ensure you’re on track for their program.

is process should be completed as soon as you are admitted to St. Cloud State as an undergraduate, degree seeking student. Note: there is a

$30 graduation fee that is not waived, as all students must pay this fee to receive their oﬃcial degree award.

You may also indicate your interest in participating in the commencement ceremonies in the second half of the application. If you’d like, you

can register to walk for graduation at SCSU. Registering for and participating in the commencement program does not guarantee you have

earned your degree. You still need to complete the other processes and program requirements. Students are responsible for covering the costs

diploma and will make you eligible to receive the A.A. degree. is is a key step of the process that you must take

responsibility for. You will not be awarded your A.A. degree if SCSU does not receive your ﬁnal transcript which shows the date

you received your high school diploma.

GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILY

As your student prepares for college, even PSEO, your parent-child and family member relationships are in transition to a new stage. is

page oﬀers discussion topics to keep in mind as you navigate through this new experience with your college student.

Students of today look up to their parents and guardians as mentors and role models. One of the most important and valuable things

parents can oﬀer their college students is support and encouragement. Positive reinforcement from mentors is crucial to their students’

college success. It is important that advisors, students, and mentors support each other in helping students make responsible decisions that

will shape their future. Young college students are in the process of realizing their autonomy. As parents and guardians, it is important

to let your children do things for themselves. is fosters personal development and allows students to emerge as capable adults. Trust

the judgment and wisdom of the advisor. Allow your children to experience and appreciate the exciting challenges college life can bring.

Source: Menezes, M. D. (2005). Advisors and parents: Together building stronger advising relationships.

STUDENT ROLE

Student responsibility is the key to a successful and

meaningful college experience. Students bear the ultimate

responsibility for their personal and academic progress.

Students:

• Are responsible for learning and understanding

• Monitor their own academic progress

• Know their high school graduation requirements

• Communicate with their advisor regarding issues and/or

concerns about academics or student life

• Attend classes

• Manage time for class preparation

• Become familiar with university resources

• Maintain a relationship with their high school and friends

PARENT/ FAMILY ROLE

Parents and family members:

• Are available to support and encourage

• Maintain regular contact

• Make a plan about how you and your student will

communicate – when and how often

• Discuss academic expectations, including the importance of

regular class attendance and study times

• Ask about classes, not just to ‘check-up’, but also to express

interest in what they are learning

• Encourage their students to work towards establishing

a good mix for academic work, social life, possible

employment, and involvement in valuable co-curricular

activities

• Oﬀer advice when appropriate

• Allow students to make mistakes in this safe environment

• Be a coach rather than a problem solver

• Encourage students to do things they can do for

themselves. It is vital that students learn to deal with issues

that concern them. For example, encourage your student

to contact their advisor. Good advising requires strong

communication between student and advisor. Learning how

to seek assistance is an important part of learning how to

succeed.

FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT

e Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,

commonly referred to as FERPA, is a federal law that

protects the privacy of student educational records. is

records, including grades, with anyone but the student.

grades, with you. It is important to discuss with your

student expectations about sharing this information.
