Georgia College welcomes qualified home
schooled students and students from
non-accredited high schools. Georgia College
and the Board of Regents have established
guidelines for admission of home schooled
students and students from
non-accredited/recognized high schools.
Students with a diploma from a regionally
accredited home study program such as the
American School or the Seton Home Study
School or a diploma from the Center of the
Accrediting Council for Independent Study
(Georgia only) will be given the same
consideration for admission as a student from
a public high school.
Admission of home schooled students from
programs not included in the previous
paragraph and students from non-accredited
schools will be made based on students having
an SAT or ACT test score equal to or above
the average score of the previous year’s
entering freshman class, (the average SAT for
freshmen enrolled Fall 2005 was 1120, the
equivalent ACT composite score is 24.) and
providing a portfolio and/or other evidence
of having the equivalent of the Georgia high
school college preparatory curriculum as
defined by the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia. Supplementary
documentation may include scores on the Iowa
Test for Academic Proficiency, The California
Achievement Test, or the Stanford Achievement
Test.
Students may also be considered for admission
based on the minimum SAT II subject exam
