Home-Schooled Admissions Requirements

ASU recognizes that most students who have graduated from a non-accredited home school or high school are amply prepared for college work.

The University System of Georgia policy dictates that in addition to SAT I scores and the Freshman Index, students must present sixteen (16) specific college preparatory curriculum units or CPC's to be accepted to a state university. See Beginning Freshman Requirements for details .

These units must be completed through a high school with regional accreditation. This accreditation is determined through an association with the Georgia Accrediting Commission, the Georgia Private School Accrediting Commission, or through a public high school regulated by the school system and the Department of Education.

Students who have completed their CPC's in a home schooled program or secondary school that is not accredited by one of the agencies listed above have the following four (4) options available in order to validate CPC units. Students can select the option per subject area that is most suitable for them. Files of students who have selected options Two(2) and Four (4) 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.

•  Submit a high school transcript and subject test scores from the Stanford Achievement, California Achievement test or the Iowa Test of Basic Skills for each CPC subject area. Scores greater than or equal to the 50 percentiles of national takers will validate acceptable proficiency in CPC subject areas.

•  Submit a high school transcript and a syllabus for each college preparatory course completed. Submit all chapter, unit and final cumulative subject test taken. Or provide research papers and/or projects if grades for courses are based on these items instead of examinations.

•  CPC's in Mathematics can be validated with a SAT I score of at least 450 or an ACT score of at least 19. CPC's in English can be validated with a SAT I verbal score of at least 450 or an ACT score of at least 18. Students can validate additional CPC's by presenting other standardized tests such as CLEP or SAT II

•  If a student wishes to submit other evidence to validate CPC's, tests or certifications not specifically mentioned. The 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 scores 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 COMPASS Examination for placement in Math.
