What do I do with all of these credits?

Congratulations! You've worked hard to graduate from high school with college credits that are going to help you meet your academic goals. Now what? This page will help guide you through the steps to take based on your individual situation.

I'm planning on attending Minnesota State Mankato!

Attending Minnesota State Mankato after high school graduation is the simplest way to transition. Since your PSEO courses were taken here, you won't have to worry about transferring your credits, they're already here! If you have courses from other institutions, you will have to transfer those courses. If those courses were taken through another MinnState institution, just note that on your application to campus and the courses will automatically be transferred.

Next Step: Submit an application for semester you want to start, for most students this would be the August after you graduate. If you haven't applied for enrollment after high school, learn how to submit a new application using the button below.

Note: University of Minnesota is not part of the MinnState system. If you have courses through the University of Minnesota, you'll need to submit official UMN transcripts to Minnesota State Mankato.
