Information for Parents
Home-Schooled Students
Students who are home-schooled should provide a transcript complete with course descriptions, books used, methods of evaluation, and the grades received (credit contracts). Home-schooled applicants should meet the same minimum high school course requirements expected of all applicants. Additionally, students must submit SAT and/or ACT with writing scores. The results of these tests are strongly considered in the review of home-schooled students' applications. General information about the home-schooling program or agency and a letter of recommendation from an academic professional as well as the home-schooling teacher or parent should be included with the application. If college level courses have been taken simultaneously, an official college transcript should be included with the application. In addition, home-schooled applicants should provide all supporting documents detailed in Part II of the application by December 1 for best consideration for the fall semester.
General Education Development (GED) Test
Students who did not graduate from a regionally accredited high school must submit results of the Tests of General Education Development. Students who earned a GED are not required to provide high school transcripts, but they should provide at least one recommendation from an academic professional, essay, activities list and Standardized Test Scores along with their application and application fee.
