Points to Remember
 Participation in the PSEO Program does not constitute

 BGSU Firelands college students will be given priority over

physical ed. Courses, selected business courses, and certain
upper-division courses.
Class Attendance
 You are expected to be in class at Firelands if they are in
session. Many professors have very strict attendance policies.
 They may have different snow days then HHS.
 They have different spring and fall breaks from HHS.
 If you are absent from a Firelands class, it is the student’s
responsibility to speak to the instructor and make any
necessary arrangements.
 Can only leave a high school class 5 minutes early or get back
to the high school 5 minutes late so schedule appropriately.
 You can not hang out in HHS teachers classrooms on days
you do not have class at Firelands.
 Sign in and out in office
 Stay in study hall if you get back to the building early
Understand
 You may miss announcements however:
 They are posted online and on the bulletin board outside the
main office.
 It is your responsibility to take care of conflicts. Final exams
in college classes are usually on different days and require you
arranging the times in advance with your high school
teachers.
 Many age groups in college classes—deal with it!
 If you fail or withdraw from a college class, you and your
parents pay for it ($680+)
 You are one of the last to register for classes so selection may
be limited.
Credit Transfer
 Many colleges accept the credit. The grade you get does not
go to college with you so it will not help your college gpa.
 Way to check out the colleges that accept PSEO credit and
the classes they will accept at:
 https://miami.transfer.org/cas/index.jsp
 If class used to meet high school graduation requirements, it
may only transfer as a general elective
