Home School Admission Policy

Denison University has a rich diversity of students who bring educational experiences from both conventional and alternative schooling. We welcome applications from home-schooled students. Denison requires home-schooled applicants to interview with a Denison University representative. When evaluating applications for admission to Denison, the Admissions Committee seeks evidence of academic preparation and proficiency.

 

Academic Requirements

  • 4 years of English

Documentation

The following documents are required to evaluate the academic background of home-schooled applicants:

  • Academic Portfolio with a detailed syllabus that lists the subjects studied each year, the dates each subject was studied, a description of each course of study, required texts and reading, and evidence of laboratory experience in the sciences.

  • SAT/ACT Scores - Denison's Test Optional [pdf] policy does not apply to home-schooled students.

  • Two Recommendations from adults not related to the student. A family member, however, who acted as the student's primary instructor may submit a teacher recommendation. Recommendations are acceptable from private instructors, coaches, clergy, mentors, employers, or sponsors of an extracurricular activity.
