Ohio's Postsecondary Enrollment Options Program
In 1989 the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Program was established by the state legislature to permit high school students in grades eleven and twelve to earn college and/or high school graduation credit through the successful completion of college courses. This program was later expanded to include students in grades nine through twelve.
The program is intended to provide opportunities for appropriately qualified high school students to experience coursework at the college or university level. Any high school student admitted to a course by an institution of higher education will be expected and required to perform at the same level as the institution's regular students. College courses should either contribute to or supplement the broad academic preparation needed by high school students.
Program eligibility requirements include:
- be less than a full-time student in high school
- be accepted at participating college or university
Students and their parents are notified by March 1 each year about the program and the options available. Courses may be taken for either high school credit or college credit. Students must indicate their intent to participate for the following school year by March 30 by completing a special form available through the district's curriculum office or the junior/senior high school guidance office and by attending a counseling session.
Ottawa Hills High School students interested in the program and their parents should plan to attend an informational meeting on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. in the Library Media Center at Ottawa Hills Junior/Senior High School.
Detailed information about the Postsecondary Enrollment Options program is available through the guidance office at the junior/senior high school or the district's curriculum office.
