PSEO Student Events and Important Dates
Here you'll find news, events, deadlines, and updated information for students already enrolled as PSEO students.

Events
The PSEO Office has a number of different events that are designed to help new students transition to campus, current students learn more about campus resources, and all students to get to know other PSEO students on campus. Learn about the different types of events that we have and make sure to sign up for one, two, three, or ALL of them!!!
Race to Register Events
Race to Register events allow you to earn pretend credits that could help you register for courses sooner. Your registration window opens based on the number of PSEO credits you have with Minnesota State Mankato. Attending Race to Register events and completing the follow-up surveys earns you points. Each point is worth 1/2 of a "credit."
For example, a student with 12 credits earns 20 points through the Race to Register, their registration window will open with student who have 20+ credits.
*The credits you earn through Race to Register are not actual credits and won't appear on your university transcript. All points go back to zero at the beginning of each semester.
Race to Register events typically focus on academic success, purposeful course planning, and personal/professional development.
