Students who are currently home-schooled should submit the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR), which you may preview. Also, please submit an outline of your academic curriculum and indicate whether your schooling has been conducted under an accredited program. Home-schooled students must present a high school equivalency diploma or certificate. SAT or ACT scores are optional for 2025 applicants.

Home-schooled students are also encouraged to provide transcripts, syllabi, and/or reading lists. You may outline your studies with high school equivalent year studied/courses completed for each academic area and note the textbooks used. Most submissions range from one to five pages in length.

• College preparatory math should indicate the levels of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus completed.
• For foreign language study, please note which language(s).
• Specify sciences studied: chemistry, physics, etc.
• For English and other literature, textbooks and a sampling of authors read can be noted.
• AP exam results may be submitted to show education attained in required areas.

Submissions may mirror a traditional transcript format with columns for academic subjects, number of years of study for each subject, grades or level of achievement for each subject, and related texts on one page. An additional page may include a list of other books read. Many home-schooled students include a page with an overview of learning styles.

Please include your full name and Rutgers University ID (RUID) on all attachments. The final transcript for enrolling students should either originate from an accredited home-school organization or be signed by the person responsible for your home-school education.
