The Homeschool questions on the School Report form of the Common Application completed by the homeschool supervisor (the person responsible for education plan and overseeing instruction).

All official transcripts, including a detailed official homeschool transcript signed by the homeschool supervisor. The homeschool transcript should include detailed course descriptions, texts used and the minimum number of hours per week of instruction.

Official transcripts are also required for any additional coursework completed or in progress in a non-home school setting, including traditional secondary schools, colleges, universities or any other type of school where credit was or will be received. Official transcripts of all completed or in-progress coursework are required from all original sources even if the homeschool transcript includes them.

Note: This fulfills the "official transcript" requirement of first-year applicants. Please also be aware of the minimum secondary school course requirements for all first-year applicants.

One additional letter of recommendation from a non-relative (including requirements for all first-year applicants, this means that you will be submitting a minimum of 3 letters of recommendation). This is a total of two letters from non-relatives and one School Report from the counselor. Preferably, this additional recommendation will be from a teacher who has taught you within the last three years in an academic subject.

If the homeschool supervisor is the only teacher and counselor, two additional letters of recommendation are still required from non-relative sources familiar with your academic quality, work ethic and/or character.

Homeschool applicants are required to show additional non-home-school-setting assessments in three academic areas: English, mathematics and laboratory science.

The following options note the methods through which these assessments may be displayed. If you took the SAT as part of the standard admissions requirements, you must show additional assessments in English, mathematics and laboratory science (laboratory science constitutes natural sciences such as biology or chemistry but does not include social sciences such as psychology). This can be completed through one of these options:

• ACT results (writing portion recommended).
• AP test results in math, lab science and either English literature or English language.
• IB test results in math, lab science and English.
• CLEP exam results in math, lab science and either English literature or English composition.
• At least one course in each area \- math, lab science, and English \- completed with an official transcript from a traditional, accredited secondary school.
• At least one course in each area \- math, lab science, and English \- completed with official transcripts from a regionally accredited college or university (includes Running Start credits at Washington State community colleges).
• A sufficient combination of options above showing assessments in English, math, and lab science. For example, an appropriate display of assessments could include an AP test score in English Language and Calc AB, and an official college transcript with credits in a 100-level Biology course.

If you took the ACT (writing portion recommended) as part of the standard first-year admissions requirements, you must show additional assessment in English and mathematics. This can be completed through one of these options:

• SAT results.
• AP test results in math and either English literature or English language.
• IB test results in math and English.
• CLEP exam results in math and either English literature or English composition
• At least one course in each area—math and English—completed with an official transcript from a traditional, accredited secondary school.
• At least one course in each area—math and English—completed with an official transcript from a regionally accredited college or university (includes Running Start credits at Washington State community colleges).
• A sufficient combination of options above showing assessments in English, math, and lab science. For example, an appropriate display of assessments could include an AP score in Calculus I and an official college transcript with credits in a 100-level English course.

Note: While taking both the SAT and ACT fulfills the above requirement for additional assessments, taking either the SAT or ACT multiple times will not alone fulfill this requirement.

For students who are applying test-optional to Seattle University and have been homeschooled for the majority of their high school career, we will need to see:

• AP test results in math, laboratory science and either English literature or English language.
• IB test results in math, lab science and English.
• CLEP exam results in math, laboratory science and either English literature or English composition.
• At least one course in each area—math, laboratory science and English—completed with an official transcript from a traditional, accredited secondary school.
• At least one course in each area—math, laboratory science and English—completed with an official transcript from a regionally accredited college or university (includes Running Start credits at Washington State community colleges).
• A sufficient combination of options above showing assessments in English, math, and lab science.
