The only thing different for home school students rather than a high school grad or Ged/HiSet is that we require the transcript be signed by the parent or guardian with the statement “Student has met the requirements for high school graduation in the State or Montana, Idaho, etc., and then notarized. We don’t require the ACT, but they do have to take the placement test.

We require a Home School transcript. If they have taken ACT/SAT and scored high enough, they are not required to take the mandatory Placement exam. If the scores are not sufficient, they are required to take the Placement exam. If the student cannot provide a Home School transcript, they must take the high school equivalency.
Previously we have had home school students who have chosen to take the high school equivalency as well as provide a transcript.

Subject: [MACRAO] 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.
