Earn College Credit while still in High School!

Rhodes State College offers programs (Post Secondary Enrollment Options Program or Concurrent Enrollment) that enable academically motivated high school students to attend classes at Rhodes and receive high school and/or college credit. These programs provide a great opportunity to be challenged and the chance to jumpstart your college career. Students must meet eligibility requirements. Contact your high school guidance counselor or an admissions counselor for more information.

Applying for PSEOP is easy.  Just complete the Rhodes State Application by clicking on the Apply Now link at the top of the page.  A PSEOP Application is also required.  Please print a copy and complete your portion and then and take it to your HS guidance counselor to complete their portion and mail with an official copy of your high school transcript. Which program is best for you?

In general, PSEOP allows students to take classes on the Rhodes State Campus (or in some cases at their high school) for college credit. Option B in PSEOP provides funding, through the state, for college tuition, fees, and books. Option B courses can satisfy high school graduation requirements. PSEOP Option A allows students to take courses for college credit only. All course expenses are covered by the student and the courses do not count for high school credit or towards high school graduation. Option A courses are not figured into the high school grade point average.

Concurrent Enrollment is a popular option in the summer quarter when PSEOP is not available. All costs associated with the Concurrent Enrollment Option are covered by the student.

Planning to transfer your credit to another institution following high school graduation? Be sure to contact that institution regarding transferability of credit to satisfy degree requirements. Your academic advisor at Rhodes will assist you with this process and often refer you to https://www.transfer.org/uselect/ a site that will allow you to explore how courses transfer between colleges and universities.
