Once I am accepted into Cleveland State University's Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP), is there an academic advisor at Cleveland State University (CSU) who will provide guidance and assistance in course selection, registration and campus questions?

Yes. All CSU PSEOP students are provided with an advisor. Your advisor will also be the person who will coordinate your orientation program, provide guidance for course selection and conduct your registration for classes. The PSEOP Office, which is part of CSU's Honors Program, is located in Main Classroom 219. Once admitted, students should call (216) 687-2279.

Is there a mandatory orientation program for PSEOP students?

Yes. All CSU PSEOP students must attend a MANDATORY orientation program. This orientation program will provide vital information about CSU; tips for student success; PSEOP, including deadlines, expectations, tutoring services, and career services; and procedures, including how to obtain a student ID, register for classes, and obtain and return textbooks. The orientation will also include a campus tour. You will be notified by mail concerning the dates and times of orientation.

If I attend a non-public school, am I eligible to participate in PSEOP?

Yes. The state allocates funds to support non-public school student participation in PSEOP and will notify all non-public school applicants if financial support is available. Students attending chartered, non-public schools may participate in the program by sending the Ohio Department of Education a copy of their acceptance by a college and an application that includes the following information:

• Current school year
• The semester(s) that enrollment in college courses is desired
• The student's full-time equivalency percentage for each semester
• The percentage of the school day for each semester that the student expects to be enrolled in college courses.

If I enroll in Option B of the PSEOP Program, what is the process concerning textbooks?

Once you are enrolled in classes, you will go to the CSU Bookstore to gather required books. It is recommended that you wait until two weeks before classes start before buying books. Students enrolled in Option B of the program will have all required textbooks paid for by the Ohio Department of Education. These textbooks must be returned to the CSU Bookstore at the end of each semester. Permission to continue taking classes depends on the return of textbooks.

Can I attend classes during the summer session under PSEOP Options A or B?

No. The program funds allocated through the State of Ohio are limited to the academic year (August - May). You may, however, pay to take courses in the summer through the Viking Bridge to College Program.

As a PSEOP student, am I eligible to participate in extracurricular activities or organizations?

No. Students participating in PSEOP may not participate in University-sponsored athletics or extracurricular activities.

As a PSEOP student, am I eligible to utilize CSU's Recreation Center?

Yes. Full-time students—students taking 12 or more credits—are able to use the facility free of charge. Part-time students must pay a membership fee.

Is there a minimum GPA I must maintain to remain in PSEOP?

Yes. You must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA to maintain your PSEOP eligibility. Students whose GPA's fall below the 2.0 cumulative GPA are dismissed from PSEOP without probation.

Are all classes offered at Cleveland State University available to high school students in PSEOP?

No. Similar to incoming freshman, some courses, English and mathematics specifically, require placement exams to determine the course-level appropriate for the student's ability. Many upper-level courses require prerequisites to be completed before a student is able to enroll in the class. Courses of 300-level and higher are available to college students of junior standing (60 credits), so PSEOP students may take 100-299 level courses. Courses are open on a space-available basis.

Can the general public view the courses CSU offers during a given semester?

Yes. There is a Class Schedule link on the CSU homepage, www.csuohio.edu.

Are there any classes that PSEOP students can take off-campus through Cleveland State?

Yes. Classes are offered at Cleveland State University 's West Center Extended Campus located at 26202 Detroit Road , Westlake , and at the East Center located at 34055 Solon Road , Solon. These classes can also be viewed from the link referenced above.

Is there a penalty involved if I fail or withdraw from a Cleveland State course taken as a PSEOP student?

Students enrolled in college courses under Option B will have tuition, fees and textbooks paid for by the Ohio Department of Education from school district funds. School districts have the option, through formal board action, to require that the student, parent or guardian pay for the tuition of any failed or uncompleted course for reasons other than those generally accepted by the district.

Are the grades I receive as a PSEOP student part of my permanent college record?

Yes. As a PSEOP student, you will be establishing a permanent college transcript. The grades that you earn in the program are very important. You will be required to submit a copy of this transcript to any college or university to which you apply in the future. It is extremely important to balance your Cleveland State schedule with your high school, work and family obligations. It is advised that you try to avoid over-extending yourself at the expense of your grades.

Once I am accepted in the Post-Secondary Program, do I need to re-apply each year?

No. If your high school guidance counselor approves, you may continue in the program through your senior year of high school.

If I plan to attend Cleveland State University after I complete high school, how do I apply?

You will simply complete an undergraduate admission application. The application is available on-line at www.csuohio.edu/admissions/apply. You will not be required to pay the application fee again.
