Re: Home School Students

If we accept the home school documents as equivalent, financial aid does too here at Northern.

Good Morning Everyone,

 

I have a question regarding home school students that complete a non-accredited curriculum.

 

According to the MUS Policy 301:

 

A. Students must have graduated from a high school accredited by the state accrediting agency, OR have a high school equivalency completion assessment designated by the Montana Board of Public Education to be admitted to any campus of the Montana University System. At the discretion of the institution, for students who complete their secondary education through home schooling or at unaccredited secondary schools, this requirement may be met by "satisfactory performance" on the ACT, SAT, or a recognized testing instrument defined in the Federal Register as indicative of a student's "ability to benefit."

 

If a student does not complete an accredited home school curriculum but has high test scores on their ACT how are you working with them in the admission process?  If a student is admitted based on test scores does this create an issue with financial aid?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt
