Home School Students

TUI will require students to show proof that they have completed their state's requirements for high school graduation. The home school family is responsible for compliance with all requirements for their state. Proof of graduation is traditionally provided through a high school transcript. TUI offers three options for home school students to meet this requirement.

• GED (General Educational Development Test)
Some states require that a home school student take the GED. (If your state requires a GED, then you must request the GED scores be sent to TUI)
• Student Transcript (provided by outside source)
If affiliated with a home school program, academy, or consortium, the students should request that the outside source forward a copy of the official transcript. If the student is affiliated with an organization that does not provide transcripts, the family will be responsible for providing a transcript as instructed below.
• Student Transcript (provided by family source)
If the program has been customized by the family, a detailed transcript is required. The person in charge of the home school program will be responsible for verifying the transcript as official.

If the family provides the student transcript, the following information is needed for an accurate transcript:

A. Name of Class

B. Grade for Each Class

C. Program Used for Each Class

• If students have used an outside curriculum, this must be indicated next to the course.
  • Ex: Algebra I (Saxon) 

• If students used the same curriculum for all classes except certain classes, please state so on the transcripts.
  • Ex: "All classes except those otherwise noted are "Alpha Omega." 

• If textbooks were chosen for certain classes, the names of the textbooks must be provided.

D. Signature

Provide name and signature of the person(s) in charge of the home school.

E. Date of Graduation on the Final Transcript

A final transcript is required that must include a date of graduation.
