FAQs

Here are common questions and their answers

Standardized test results are not required for PSEO or Dual Enrollment students.

The official high school transcript comes to Crown directly from the high school in a sealed envelope or through an electronic transcript service. An official homeschool transcript includes classes, grades, cumulative GPA, expected graduation year, and a parent signature and is mailed in a sealed envelope or emailed from the parent’s email.

Crown is regionally accredited so credits should transfer elsewhere, but ultimately it’s up to the other college to decide what will transfer. See Transferology for assistance planning your coursework.

The MDE Notice of PSEO Notice of Student Registration form must be completed each semester by the student, parent, high school counselor, and Crown College to be submitted to the MN Department of Education for payment.
