PSEO Application

Can you answer yes to these questions?*

• Will the enrolling student live with parents or court appointed guardians while taking PSEO courses?
• Will the enrolling student physically be in the state of MN during each semester enrolled in PSEO courses?

If so, then proceed with the PSEO application. If not, please fill out Early College Application.

New Students

1. Complete the above PSEO application. After submission, submit the student portion of the Notice of Student Registration (NOSR) form via the link in the checklist. This form is required by the State of Minnesota for all PSEO students. Find out more on their website. The form also requires a parent signature (for students under 18) and a section completed by the high school. A link will automatically be emailed to the parent and high school the day after the student portion is submitted. The high school can upload a transcript directly to the student’s record through their link. Please note: all NOSR forms must be completed through this process. If you are unable to complete this process, please email [email protected].
2. You will receive an email to the inbox listed on your application letting you know your decision has posted to your portal. Sign into your application portal to view your decision. If you are accepted, your portal will list all the information you need for next steps and signing into myUNW, which houses your Northwestern email account. *Please note that all communication from UNW, including registration instructions, will be sent to this new student email address, so you will need to check it regularly.
3. The on-campus PSEO program is very competitive with limited availability. You will be asked to submit an unedited video essay and two recommendations as a part of the application process.
4. PSEO students do not need to order text books.
