Post-Secondary Enrollment Options

Dear Friends of CAHS,

We understand that some CAHS sophomores are having trouble getting courses at CAHS and instead have study hall(s). We suggest that you consider Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO). Hopefully you signed a contract last March so your student will qualify. Here is more info regarding PSEO that your student must have:

1) Passed the Ohio Graduation Test

OR

2a) Accumulative Unweighted Grade Point Average (on a 4.0 Scale)
2.7 (or higher) for Seniors
3.0 (or higher) for Juniors
3.8 (or higher) for Sophomores
4.0 for Freshmen

OR

2b) ACT: Composite Score of 22 (or higher)
PLAN: Composite Score of 20 (or higher)
SAT: Combined Score (Critical Reading and Math) of 1030 (higher)
PSAT: Verbal Score of 50 and Math Score of 50 (or higher)

The PSEO Program at Columbus State Community College has been established to allow qualified high school students to take courses for:

(Option A) college credit only (student and family pay all tuition, fees, and book costs)
(Option B) both high school credit and college credit (school pays all tuition, fees, and book costs)

The PSEO Program has been designed to provide an opportunity for qualified high school students who are Ohio residents to experience more advanced academic work through regular college courses that contribute to the broad academic preparation fo the student. The high school will decide which classes will meet the student's high school graduation requirements.

Amended Substitute House Bill 282 states, "A student may not enroll in any specific college course through the program if the student has taken high school courses in the same subject area as that college course and has failed to attain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the equivalent, in such completed high school courses."

If your student has signed a contract and is interested in the PSEO Program, please contact Kate Webster, guidance counselor at CAHS, at 365-6006 to see if there are any courses during winter or spring semester at Columbus State that your student may wish to attend.
