The following documents and supplementary materials are required, along with an application, in order for the admissions office to complete a knowledgeable assessment.

The applicant must provide a list of the courses and grades that he/she has completed in grades 10 through 12. This may be generated by an independent homeschooling agency or by the applicant’s parent(s)/guardian(s). The name of each course or subject covered should be indicated on the transcript document, along with the grade received in each course and the duration of the course including the number of hours and weeks.

It is recommended that the applicant provide a cover letter indicating the length of the homeschooling study, the pedagogy employed, curriculum choices, etc., used in education. The letter could also include a reflection on the homeschooling experience, as well as an outline of the applicant’s university plans1and career aspirations.

The applicant must provide a brief course description and syllabi of the courses studied with a list of the texts used. This is especially important for those students interested in Crandall’s science program.
