Applicant guide

Homeschool applicants: Homeschooled applicants are required to submit SAT or ACT scores; this is waived for students who graduated high school more than two years ago.

If you were homeschooled, we welcome your interest in Dominican University of California. Please read the following guidelines to learn more about what is required to become eligible for admission consideration:

  • Provide transcripts for any courses that you took through a homeschool umbrella program, a local high school or an accredited college or university.
  • If you don’t have official transcripts, you will need to provide a detailed outline of your homeschool curriculum, including subject areas studied, level of instruction, time spent on each discipline, texts read, work produced and assessment of performance or grade. In addition, the person (other than yourself) who has been most responsible for your overall academic program should submit a short narrative that summarizes your educational experience.
  • Submit official test scores from either the SAT or ACT. Please note — test scores are waived if you graduated from high school more than two years ago.
  • Homeschooled students are not required to submit an equivalency diploma, however, we do require admitted students to present the following: proof of graduation, such as a homeschool diploma (a certificate of completion that is considered the equivalent of a high school diploma in the applicant's home state), or results from a GED test prior to enrollment at Dominican.
  • We strongly encourage homeschooled students to visit campus and complete an admissions counseling appointment with a member of our admissions staff.
