Colleges - Online or Campus that are home school friendly
I was wondering if anyone can pass on any information regarding colleges and universities, online or campus, that are home school friendly. Since we won't necessarily have an official diploma or transcripts, what universities/colleges will accept a home school diploma, and list of grades and courses completed? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Colleges - Online or Campus that are home school friendly
There has been a huge shift towards acceptance of homeschoolers in colleges of all levels. Ten years ago, you had to be careful where you applied and many schools didn't know how to deal with a homemade transcript. Now almost all of them do. Here are a few hints, though. If you are aiming at a selective school, your child will want to take the PSAT, SAT, and multiple subject tests. Even colleges that have 'de-emphasized' standardized tests take them into account for people who don't have grades. Also, it helps to have some 'real' courses with grades on the transcript. Take something from your local community college, from a remote learning outfit, or a college outreach program. College work carries more weight, and many mid-teen homeschoolers can handle it. It is also a good way to get some letters of recommendation from outside the family. (Our 18yo son was homeschooled until he went to college last fall, and he has had a good first year at the University of Chicago.) |
