Home-Schooled Admissions Requirements

Home-schooled students who have graduated from a non-accredited home school or high school are eligible to enroll at ASU.

Requirements:

University System of Georgia policy dictates that in addition to SAT I scores and freshman index, students must present sixteen (16) specific college preparatory curriculum units or CPCs to be accepted to a state university for students graduating from high school 2001 and beyond. (See prevailing regular freshman admission standards for specific details.) These units must be completed in high schools that have been accredited by a regional accreditation association (such as SACS) or the Georgia Accrediting Commission, the Georgia Private School Accrediting Commission, or from a public high school regulated by a school system and the State Department of Education.

For students who have completed their CPCs in a home schooled program or secondary school that is not accredited by one of the agencies mentioned above, the following options are available to validate CPC units. Students can select the option per subject area that is most suitable for them. For instance, a student who has earned 450 on the SAT I math and verbal tests can validate CPCs in English and mathematics in this manner, and provide the items in option one or option two to validate CPCs in other areas. Files of students who select options two (2) or five (5) to validate CPC subjects will be reviewed by a university committee consisting of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Director of Admissions and Associate Director of Admissions.

1. Submit a high school transcript and subject test scores from the Stanford Achievement, California Achievement Test or Iowa Test of Basic Skills for each CPC subject area. Scores greater than or equal to the 50 percentiles of national test takers will validate acceptable proficiency in CPC subject areas.
2. Submit a high school transcript (please use linked form)and a syllabus for each college preparatory course completed. In addition, submit chapter, unit or final, cumulative subject tests taken. Provide research papers and/or projects if grades for courses are based on these items rather than examinations.
3. A score greater than or equal to 450 on SAT I math or 19 on ACT math will validate CPCs in mathematics. English CPCs can be validated with a score greater than or equal to 450 on the SAT I verbal or 18 on the ACT English. In addition, students can validate subject area CPCs by presenting other standardized tests such as CLEP or SAT II. For SAT II score requirements as put forth by the USG Board of Regents, please see below.
4. If a student wishes to submit other evidence to validate CPCs (tests not specifically mentioned above, certifications, etc.), committee members can use their discretion to use other information to validate CPC units.

*Note: Students with verbal SAT scores less than 500 or ACT English less than 21 will take the English and Reading portions of the COMPASS Examination for placement. All students bound by freshmen admissions requirements must take the COMPASS Examination for placement in math.
