POSTSECONDARY
ENROLLMENT OPTIONS PROGRAM (PSEOP)
High
school students who have demonstrated the academic background and
overall preparedness for college coursework
There are two options for
students interested in the program:
- Option A:
Students pay for their tuition and fees and receive college credit.
- Option B:
The State of Ohio covers the educational expenses, and students receive
both high school and college credit. (Tuition and fees are only covered
for the equivalent of an Ohio resident - nonresidents must make up
the additional costs.)
Enrollment options are not
intended to be a substitute for the academic programs, social growth
or maturing experience provided by Ohio's public and private high schools
or otherwise interfere with or replace advanced placement courses or
the college preparatory curriculum available to students within their
school system.
Admission Requirements
To be considered for the postsecondary
enrollment options program, students must demonstrate academic ability
and preparation. Students must submit ACT/SAT results for placement
purposes.
Minimum academic requirements
are:
1. Pass the Ohio Graduation Test.
2. 11th- and 12th-grade students
must have a 3.30 cumulative GPA with a 24 ACT composite or 1100 SAT
composite or a 3.50 cumulative GPA. They may enroll in up to 14 credit
hours per semester.
3. Ninth- and 10th-grade students
must have a minimum ACT composite score of 26 or SAT composite score
of 1150; a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.75; letter of recommendation
from a high school instructor; a grade of B+ in all English courses;
and submit an essay, 500 words or less, about why they want to enroll
in the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Program. Students may enroll in only one course per semester.
4. Students must attain a
cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in
high school courses to enroll in the equivalent college course.
5. Admission does not entitle
a student to enroll in any specific course. Enrollment in specific
courses is limited to courses where space is available. Enrollment
is subject to satisfaction of course prerequisites including demonstrated
academic background, as well as testing criteria that identify readiness
and likelihood of success. The program does not pay for developmental
coursework. Students should seek remediation at their high schools.
6. Students will
take University placement tests in math, English and reading, if applicable,
and meet with an academic adviser.
7. Students enrolling under
this program will be subject to the same policies and procedures, academic
practices, grading standards, regulations of student conduct and student
disciplinary procedures as all other University of Akron students.
8. Students who participate
in the program are not eligible to receive financial aid. Due to NCAA
regulations and Greek national charters, postsecondary enrollment option
students cannot participate in varsity athletics or Greek life. Additionally,
students may not participate in other extracurricular activities or
live on campus.
How to Apply
Students must complete the
Postsecondary Enrollment Options Program application. Be sure to complete
