Application Deadlines
• Tri-C: April 15, 2014 for fall,
December 1, 2014 for spring
• BWU: May 1, 2014 for both fall and
spring semesters
Things to Consider
• How are college semester hours
transferred to high school credits?
– College hours are multiplied by .2 to
equate with high school credit.
ex.: 3 semester hrs = .6 high school credit
5 semester hrs = 1.0 high school credit
Things to Consider
• Total number of high school credits must
be at least 2.5 per semester and 5.5 for
the year.
• The maximum number of credits a student
may earn must not exceed 7.0 for the
academic year.
Things to Consider
• What about eligibility?
– P.S.E.O.P. courses DO count toward
eligibility.
– Students must be scheduled for
and earn 2.5 credits per semester,
5.5 credits for the year.
Things to Consider
• What about “honors” grades?
– P.S.E.O.P. course grades WILL be
considered as “honors” classes
only at the 200 level or above. All
others will be treated as regular
classes: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.
Things to Consider
• Will the credit I earn through P.S.E.O.P.
transfer to another university?
– Most colleges in Ohio will accept credit
earned through the P.S.E.O.P. program.
Out of state colleges are not required
to accept credits as P.S.E.O.P. is an Ohio
program.
Things to Consider
• Can P.S.E.O.P. students take evening,
weekend, or distance learning classes?
– YES! This allows more flexibility in
scheduling between Berea-Midpark High
and the college.
– BW does not allow P.S.E.O.P. students to
take evening or weekend classes
Things to Consider
• What if I complete the course, but I
receive an “F”?
– The student/family will be billed
for tuition and books.
– You will have an “F” on your
transcript
Things to Consider
• What if I do not complete the course
because I don’t like it?
– You will have one week from the first day
of the P.S.E.O.P. class to determine if you
wish to drop; after that time, you will be
charged for tuition and books, and the
withdrawal grade will be an “F”.
