1. Post-Secondary Educational Options (PSEO)
PSEOP allows Ohio high school students to earn college
credit and high school credit through completion of
college courses. Students must meet the state and
university requirements. Students travel to the
university to take these courses. Students do not have
to pay college tuition for these courses.
2. Concurrent Enrollment
Students attend a university and can earn college and
high school credit at the same time. Parents and
students absorb this cost. Universities that do not
participate in PSEO offer this option.
3. Dual Enrollment
Students take these classes at Hayes High School in their regular
schedules, taught by Hayes High School teachers. Students pay reduced
tuition fees and can receive both high school and a college credit at the
end of the course.
Look in the Course Handbook or refer to the course selection sheet.
4. Advanced Placement (AP)
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is offered to high school
students through The College Board and provides a resource for students
to earn collegiate credit before enrolling at a university. Advanced
Placement (AP) courses are offered at Hayes High School. Students must
apply for these courses. These courses also have additional fees and a
culminating test in May. Students who take AP courses stand out in the
admissions process. High test scores can result in college credit. See the
course guide for available courses. Beginning with the Class of 2014 a
student must earn a C- or better to earn the additional point for
weighted grading.
Marion-Tech PSEO Courses
 Students with a 2.75 GPA may apply for the PSEO courses that

which will be taught in two consecutive periods Monday

 Students will earn 12 semester hours of credit!!!!
 If you are interested in PSEO and did not attend the Jan 29th meeting,
there is a make-up meeting.
 This meeting is REQUIRED for participation in PSEO.

for making the request in writing to their Guidance counselor by the end of
the course. The student will then receive a letter grade for the final grade of
the course. When the student drops the pass/fail option, they may not use
the pass/fail option for another course in that school year.
