Not on track to graduate: If a school district determines a student is not on
track to graduate, the limits on PSEO participation does not apply to that
student. Students who are not on track to graduate: In 2015, the following
language was added to Minnesota Statues, section 124D.09, subdivision 8:
“If a school district determines a pupil is not on track to graduate, the limit
on participation does not apply to that pupil.” This applies only to public
school students. In order to waive the participation limits, the postsecondary
institution must submit the PSEO Verification of Extended PSEO Eligibility
(ED-02480-01) as supporting documentation. This form must be completed
and signed by the enrolling district.
