The following procedures for specific home-educated admissions policies are patterned after the recommended criteria suggested by the National Center for Home Education.
Home-educated applicants to a NDUS institution shall submit, in addition to the application for admission and application fee:
- Curriculum description or transcript showing the following:
- Specific listing of classes completed by the student; identified and/or separated by class levels. An institution may request a course syllabus or detailed description of course content.
- Clear identification of those courses which meet the North Dakota University System College Preparatory Requirements. (This is required by the four-year institutions.)
- Key explaining grading system and successful completion of coursework.
- Date of student's graduation/completion of plan of study.
- Signature of the parent/instructor.
- Identification of any other private or public high school the student has attended.
- Transcript of college courses (if applicable).
OR - A GED may be accepted with an overall score of 45 and a minimum score of 40 on each individual subject exam; however, individual institutions may require higher scores.
- Diploma/Certificate issued by the local school district in which the student resides if that district provides such a document.
- Submission of either ACT or SAT I test scores.
Minimum scores shall be determined by individual system institutions. - All other NDUS required and/or other institutional specific documents such as immunizations, etc.
According to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, "A student who has been home schooled is eligible for financial aid if he or she can present documentation that the state in which the student resides considers the home schooling to be the equivalent of a high school diploma. If the student does not have such documentation or some other recognized equivalent of a high school diploma, the student must be beyond the age of compulsory school attendance in the state in which the post-secondary institution is located and must pass an Education Department approved ability-to-benefit test." |
