HOMESCHOOLED APPLICANTS The College defines a homeschooled student as one who is taught at home by his/her parents or by a group of individuals outside the traditional educational system.
§ Homeschooled students may supplement their coursework with college-level courses. However, if a home schooled student has been enrolled full-time (12 credits or more per semester) at a college or university, Grove City College considers this as early enrollment at the college level, and therefore, the home schooled student will not be considered as a first-time freshman, but instead, will be processed as a transfer applicant.
§ Homeschooled students who have taken college classes as a supplement to their home education training and who have been accepted as freshmen, either under Early Decision or Regular Decision admission plans, will remain as freshmen their first year and will progress forward in class standing each year along with their peers.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR HOMESCHOOLED APPLICANTS:
