First, your parents need to create a transcript for you. They can also create a diploma but most universities do not require them from homeschool graduates. There are many templates for both types of document online. Many curriculum compaies offer “graduation kits” as well.

You may also want to put together a portfolio of work samples if you have them available just as a back up.

Other than that, you just need to take the standard college placement test(s) SAT and/or ACT.

Some require the ACT or SAT tests.

In any event you will have to take a Math and English placement test at the college that determines if they put you in the baby courses or College Math and College Grammar.

If they place you in the baby courses you will have to make up those 6 credits to graduate. Those don’t count. They want Math 1 and 2 and English 1 and 2, not Math 21 or English 21

Our library also has the Standard Deviants videos that give hints concerning the SAT.

Go to your local community college and get a sample of their placement test.

These will be great study tools for you to know what to expect on the ACT or SAT that most colleges require.

Then…schedule to take the test. I think it is expensive and that’s the reason I suggest that you use free resources before you get to that point.

As far as homeschooling, in our state it is all up to the parent. We, the parents, issue a high school diploma when our child, the student, is at the level we think is necessary to go on to other education or get a job.

Depending on what state you’re in, you may need to pass a state “exit” exam, given to all graduating students usually beginning in junior year. Some states require homeschoolers to pass, others don’t – you’ll need to check the laws of whatever state you are in.
