We have all students (home school, online high schools, public school) submit a high school transcript or equivalency. Primarily, because in addition to admission; it helps our financial aid office.
Most also submit ACT/SAT scores if they are of traditional age as well. [Though, my perspective is not skewed by the 4 year admission standards].

Subject: Homeschool question for the two year schools
Hello all,
This is for the two-year schools (or those of you with 2 year experience): what do you require for admission for students who are home schooled? Are you asking for ACT/SAT scores? Something else? Are you verifying the home school is registered with OPI?
For quick reference, BOR 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.”
C. The two-year campuses and some two-year programs of the four-year campuses of the Montana University System are open admission, in which the only academic requirement is (A) above. However, individual programs of study within those institutions may have more selective admission requirements.
