School Counselor

As the end of the year approaches, many colleges/universities, programs, etc will want a copy of your high school transcript. That comes DIRECTLY from the high school office, so just let myself or Nancy know where to send your high school transcript after you graduate! Many of you have notified me already which is awesome! Those get sent via mail on June 6^th

Those who earned college credits while in high school (PSEO, College Now, Reach American History, etc):

Seniors are responsible for sending their college transcript (which has the college credit equivalent attached to it) to the college/university, program, etc. If you fail to do this, your college will NOT give you the proper credits which could result in you having to retake a class!

On June 6^th, follow the information below. I pulled the information for Ridgewater, SMSU and MinnWest Tech. For those of you who may have completed credit from other colleges, go to the college’s website and look for “transcript request”

NOTE: IF you are staying in the Minnesota State University/Technical and Community College system (so any school in Minnesota that is NOT University of Minnesota or private schools) all you have to do for your transcripts is tell the college you are going to in the fall 2022 that you have credits from “x” schools, they will pull it for you. Those of you going out-of-state, University of Minnesota (Twin Cities, Morris, Duluth, Crookston, Rochester) or any private school you will need to do this yourself for every place you have college credits.

Congratulations Senior Class of 2022! Remember seniors to forward this information to a personal email or make sure it is saved, you lose access to your BOLD email in July!

Career and College Readiness Resources

In today’s global economy, students must be well-prepared for the demands of college and the workplace. BOLD provides support to assist students as they transition from middle school to high school and into an increasingly wide array of postsecondary options. Each of the options is described below.

For questions on any of these resources please contact:

Concurrent Enrollment
BOLD partners with Southwest Minnesota State University to offers the following college credit courses to our high school students here. Students who successfully complete these courses generate both high school and college credit from the partnering postsecondary institution. There is no cost to the student to participate in these courses, but there are entrance requirements.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a College Board program that allows students to accelerate their education by earning college credit by taking a computer-based test of their knowledge. Learning can be done through general academic instruction, independent study, extracurricular work or volunteerism. The time and money saved can be significant. Check with the postsecondary institution of your choice for their most recent CLEP credit policy. Visit the College Board website for more information.

Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)
PSEO is a program that allows students in 10th, 11th and 12th grades earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level, nonsectarian courses at eligible participating postsecondary institutions. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses. Eleventh and 12th-grade students may take PSEO courses on a full- or part-time basis; 10th graders may take one career/technical PSEO course. If they earn at least a grade C in that class, they may take additional PSEO courses.

There is no charge to PSEO students for tuition, books or fees for items that are required to participate in a course. Students must meet the PSEO residency and eligibility requirements and abide by participation limits specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.09. If a school district determines a student is not on track to graduate, she/he may continue to participate in PSEO. Funds are available to help pay transportation expenses for qualifying students to participate in PSEO courses on college campuses. Schools must provide up-to-date information to all students in grades 8-11 and their families by March 1, every year. Students must notify their school by May 30 if they want to participate in PSEO for the following school year.

For current information about the PSEO program, visit the Minnesota Department of Education’s Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) webpage.
