RIT has a history of admitting academically talented students from homeschool settings. In the absence of consistent homeschooling standards nationally and globally, guidelines have been developed for homeschooled students seeking RIT admission.

Academic Coursework

Required academic coursework varies by your major of interest. Learn about What We Look For and view academic preparation and requirements to make sure you have satisfied the expected academic coursework for admission consideration and contact us at admissions@rit.edu with any questions.

Materials Required

Required documentation for admission consideration:

  • An official homeschool transcript signed by your home school counselor/supervisor, including a detailed list of academic coursework and addendum with syllabi or course descriptions

In addition, please provide one or more of the following (all that are available):

  • A transcript from a recognized homeschool clearing house program
  • A transcript from a traditional high school program you attended for part of your high school career
  • Official high school equivalency results, such as GED, HiSET, or TASC
  • Documentation from your local school district indicating the student has met or is making progress towards high school graduation
  • An official college transcript
Additional Submission

Once you have confirmed your intent to enroll at RIT, all students, including home schooled students, must also provide proof of graduation or equivalency before the start of classes. Those seeking and applying for financial aid must meet Ability-to-Benefit guidelines (click on “High School Diploma or Equivalent” section for additional details) in order to qualify for state and federal financial aid.
