We will be having an information session on the Direct Admissions Minnesota Program on November 1 at 6:30 PM via Google Meet. You can join the meet through this link: https://meet.google.com/vfk-biug-sgi RPS Online High School is participating in a new state pilot program called Direct Admissions Minnesota. Direct Admissions Minnesota is designed to make sure all high school students know that they have options for education and training after high school through Minnesota’s colleges. We want to reduce anxiety surrounding college admissions by telling students for which colleges they have already met the admissions standards, waiving all application fees, and streamlining the admissions process. This is a great opportunity to learn more about your college options and perhaps discover schools you might not have even known would be happy to admit you.
