We value the unique experiences and perspectives homeschooled students bring to our community. Please review the following recommendations and requirements to take the next step in applying to the College of Charleston:

  • College-prep curriculum. Completion of a challenging college-preparatory high school curriculum. Consider adding dual-enrollment classes at a local community college to your curriculum.
  • Homeschool Transcript. Submit a transcript that includes the following:
  • all classes with specific course titles and descriptions.
  • the rigor of each class (honors, AP, etc.).
  • your grades (and how your grades were determined).
  • credits per class.
  • academic year during which each class was completed.
  • Official high school transcripts, if you were enrolled in high school prior to home instruction.
  • College transcript(s), if you have taken any dual enrollment classes while in high school.
  • Two years of a foreign language in high school is strongly recommended. Intermediate-level courses at a community college (201 and 202 level) can be substituted.
  • ACT or SAT is required for homeschooled students. The testing requirement is waived for students who complete dual-enrollment classes, AP classes and/or IB classes. If you are taking a dual-enrollment class during the second semester of your senior year, we will require your midterm grades to make an admissions decision.
  • Accredited homeschool organization. South Carolina homeschooled students must be registered with a fully accredited homeschool organization, otherwise a GED diploma and transcript are required. If your state does not require an accredited homeschool curriculum, we will abide by those rules for admission consideration.
