Home Education Admission Policy/Process/Procedure
(Last Updated 2008-05-27)

St. Mary's University College recognizes that individuals who have followed a non-traditional education path still possess the capabilities and competencies required to succeed in post-secondary. Home-educated applicants will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. To be considered for admission, applicants must submit the following:

1. An Application for Admission, including the admission fee
2. A written recommendation from an individual other than a parent, such as a home education coordinator, teaching professional or counsellor, commenting on the applicant’s academic readiness for a university-level program of studies.
3. The official results from at least one of the following standardized tests:
a. English 30 diploma examinations with a grade of 75% or better
b. GED with an average score of 50 on the five sections with no individual score below 45
c. SAT I score of 900 or better
d. SAT Reasoning Test Score of 1245 with no section test below 400

Home-educated applicants will also be required to meet with an advisor to review the contents of their academic history portfolios. After meeting with an advisor, applicants may be asked to complete other specifically course related assessments (e.g. Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry) prior to registering in those areas.
