Important PSEO Update
If your high school student is enrolled in Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) or if you’re planning on PSEO in the future, you’ve probably heard that the University of Northwestern—St. Paul is no longer able to accept new students into their on-campus PSEO program because of the recent law. Many homeschooling families in the metro area have depended on UNWSP as their college of choice for PSEO, so the new law impacts many of our families, who are now wondering what they can do. At our workshop, I’ll fill you in on the details of the situation and how we can respond. A representative from UNWSP will be on hand to answer your questions about other ways to take advantage of PSEO and Early College at Northwestern.
MMA may be able to help fill the gap caused by this recent legislation, but that depends on what homeschooling families—including you—want. The feedback you provide at this workshop will help us determine how to proceed. If you know of any families with students who don’t attend MMA but were or will be deprived of their first choice for PSEO (on campus at Northwestern), please invite them to attend this event as well.
