• Completed Student Release Form.
• Fee Payment.
• Standardized test score (ACT and/or SAT) must be submitted directly from the testing agency. Note that test scores received on a home school transcript cannot be used by the Clearinghouse. A Student Score Report or scores taken directly from a Student Score Report cannot be accepted by the Clearinghouse for initial eligibility purposes.
• Home school transcript that includes:
• Course titles;
• Course grades;
• Units of credit for courses;
• Grading Scale (if other than A-F letter grades); and
• Signature of the home school administrator (the parent or other person who organized, taught, and evaluated your home school coursework).
• Transcript from any other high school, college, nontraditional program attended (mailed directly from the issuing institution).
• Proof of high school graduation, including specific graduation date.
• Evidence that home schooling was conducted in accordance with state laws (a written statement from the home school administrator verifying compliance with state home school legislation). Please attach any supporting documentation.
• List of texts used throughout home schooling [text titles, publisher and in which course(s) used].

If your home school coursework was taken through an established nontraditional program (e.g., correspondence, internet, tutoring, etc.) that evaluated your coursework and issues transcripts, please have that program provide a copy of your transcript and provide contact information so that the Clearinghouse can obtain further information, if necessary.

The Clearinghouse will evaluate home school coursework only after all required documents have been received. After this information is received, the Clearinghouse may need to request additional information or clarification before completing your certification.

Please direct all inquiries regarding this matter to the NCAA Clearinghouse, ATTN: Home School Evaluation.

If you were home schooled in New York, please note that the Clearinghouse cannot accept "proof of graduation" from a diploma issued by a home school in New York, because the state of New York does not recognize diplomas that are issued by a home school. If a student is home schooled in New York and does not graduate from a high school, that student would have to provide a GED certificate in order to meet the NCAA's graduation requirement.
