Admission Criteria for TESU
#1
I am 19 and do not have a high school diploma.

I homeschooled through high school so I can have a home school diploma.
Does this mean that I have to either have earned 24 RA credits OR take the Accuplacer?

Am I reading this correctly?

I will be 20 in February and look like I wont have to have the 24 RA or Accuplacer at that time.

Is that right?

For admissions purposes at tesu, a home school high school diploma is a high school diploma (assumes that secondary home school diploma met the requirements of the applicant's state).

For admissions you don't need to bring in 24 RA credit ahead of time if you're at least 20 years old. if 18-19, you do need them before, or take accuplacer (and then a different set of rules if you're military) so yes, you're reading that the same way I read it.

But for the degree and policy requirements, one needs to have 30 RA credits total for bachelors. 6 of those will be from SOS 110 and the degree capstone course. The other 24 can be from TESU or "courses from other accredited higher education institutions."

Thank you! Just wanted to make sure I was on the right track.

Your parents (or an umbrella school or whatever your states laws are) should have issued you a high school diploma, and that's accepted in all 50 states. If you don't have one, make one immediately.

for the related topic of diplomas, transcripts, etc...

and if you need templates for diploma and/or transcript, those are quick to find with search engine.
if you need help on transcript, this is a quick learn https://hs4cc-academy.thinkific.com/courses/Build
other sources are out there, that is just one.

diploma can be printed from home and signed. Or there are companies that do that such as HSLDA, HomeschoolDiploma.com, just to name two.
here's info about homeschool diplomas in general https://hslda.org/post/diploma-faqs from a legal organization that does that stuff


by the way, with TESU. I don't remember having to submit a copy of the "diploma" (piece of ceremonial paper) to prove I had "High School Diploma" ( meaning completion of legit home school high school program and graduated).
I don't even think I had to send in transcript either. Just don't remember either way. But I was over 20. agreeing it's worth having those just in case for some day.... and to celebrate the achievement.

I planned on taking the GED in lieu of a diploma but if I can get away with not making one Id rather not have to do it.  If UMPI requires it I can make one really quick.

I was homeschooled through high school too (through Abeka Academy). My transcript says it's a "college preparatory diploma", which is the equivalent of a high school diploma... So you DO technically have a high school diploma if you graduated from your homeschool program. You should be able to contact whoever your curriculum was provided through, and they will be able to get your transcript sent to TESU or at least get you a copy. :-).

Most homeschoolers don't homeschool through a program like Abeka.  Your parents can just issue a diploma.  If you're in a state that requires an umbrella school, that entity would issue it.  There are other options as well.

(typing same time as dfrecore so this might repeat what she wrote)

side topic clarification here:

People can use Abeka without being in their long distance academy and would not be eligible to get a transcript from them.   Same with all of the other hundreds of hs products on the market. mfw , sl, bju, notgrass, MUS, Saxon, etc etc etc......


Home school curriculum providers do not issue transcripts or diplomas. They sell books and lesson plans and similar.

Schools and academies, and parents who are legally homeschooling can issue transcripts, etc.    Yes, some schools have a specific publisher with same name (such as Abeka, or BJU for two examples) so it gets a little confusing that way.

I realize this kind of stuff is not the purpose of this forum.

To original poster:  You don't have to get GED or HiSET (the other high school equivalency exam), but if you want to do that, it's an option to you if you did not complete your program and couldn't say in good faith that you graduated.    Best wishes getting your ACE credit and RA credit and applying to TESU when ready.

Ohh Gotcha! I didn't realize traditional homeschooling was still an option in most states.

You're absolutely right. I apologize if I caused any confusion. I'm old..lol
