Home School Information
Use high school code "969999" as the high school code for any home school coursework.
This information is for those who have attended a home school or nontraditional school for either all or part of their high school career. In order to evaluate your certification status for purposes of NCAA athletics initial eligibility, please submit the following information to the Eligibility Center:
- 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 transcript cannot be used by the Eligibility Center. A Student Score Report or scores taken directly from a Student Score Report cannot be accepted by the Eligibility Center for initial-eligibility purposes.
- Home school transcript that includes:
- Course titles;
- Course grades;
- Units of credit for courses;
- Grading scale ( if numeric grading is used, alpha/letter equivalent grades are needed); and
- Signature of the home school administrator (the parent or other person who organized, taught and evaluated the home school coursework).
- Transcript from any other high school, college and/or nontraditional program attended (mailed directly from the issuing institution).
- Proof of high school graduation, including specific graduation date (month/day/year).
- 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.
- A statement of who taught and evaluated the coursework, awarded grades and issued credit.
- List of textbooks used throughout home schooling [course title, textbook title, publisher name and book level (if applicable)].
There are some examples listed below for reference including a home school checklist, transcript example and textbook list. This will help provide guidance on what the Eligibility Center needs regarding home school information.
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 the Eligibility Center can obtain further information, if necessary.
The Eligibility Center will evaluate home school coursework only after all required documents have been received. After the information listed above is received, the Eligibility Center may need to request additional information or clarification before completing an academic certification.
HOME SCHOOL EVALUATION ADDRESS:
NCAA Eligibility Center (ATTN: Home School Evaluation)
1802 Alonzo Watford Sr. Drive
Indianapolis, IN 46202-6222
Phone: 877/ 262-1492 or 317/ 223-0700. Follow the prompts or request to be directed to the home school department.
If you were home schooled in New York, please note that the Eligibility Center 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.
