What if I was home schooled for all or part of high school?
Home-schooled students for any part of high school (grades nine through 12) must now register with the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse.  The clearinghouse processes all home-school certifications. There no longer is the need for institutions to file initial-eligibility waivers for students who have been home schooled.
When did it change take place?
The home-schooled student who plans to enroll in any high institution must register with the clearinghouse.
How does a home-schooled student register with the clearinghouse? And what documents are required?
Students who were home-schooled should register with the clearinghouse by visiting the clearinghouse web site.
After registering, home-schooled students must send the following information to the clearinghouse:
• Standardized test score (must be on official transcript OR sent directly from the testing agency);
• Transcript (home school transcript and any other transcript from other high schools, community colleges, etc.);
• Proof of high-school graduation;
• Evidence that home schooling was conducted in accordance with state law; AND
• Lists of texts used throughout home schooling (text titles, publisher, in which courses texts were used).
When should a home-schooled student register with the clearinghouse?
This is best to register after completion of his or her junior year.
What can I do to get approved as a qualifier?
You’ll need work with your parents or home-school instructor to ensure that you are indeed taking the required number of core courses in the appropriate subject matters. You should consider providing the coach a copy of your home-school transcript and ACT/SAT test score.
What courses may be used to meet the core-course requirements?
Only courses completed in grades nine through 12 may be considered core courses. A student may use all core courses completed prior to initial, full-time collegiate enrollment to meet the core-curriculum requirements (including a core course completed during summer school after grade 12).
The college course taken during high school by a home-schooled student may be used to meet the core-course requirements, provided the course is placed on the home-school transcript, would be accepted for any other student and meets all requirements to be considered a core course. Courses completed during eighth grade and credits awarded through credit-by-exam may not be used to meet the core-course requirements.
