I'm not sure what exactly homeschool friendly means(online classes?) , if you elaborate, I may be able to provide more info.

Sorry I missed your question earlier! Homeschool-friendly refers to the admissions /application process. Many, though fewer, colleges do not accept parent-generated transcripts even from states where homeschools operate as a private school (my state of IL is an example) so "my" transcript IS "the" transcript. Of course I know this, but some parents may be intimidated and do silly things- like run out and get their child a GED, provide a portfolio, provide a curriculum list, or any number of asinine requests. Other colleges have a specific homeschool admissions person, presumably familiar with law (at least in their state) as well as the possibly non-traditional presentation of a transcript. It's getting better, but every now and then you'll see a strange requirement or HSLDA will have to fight for admission fairness. Not too long ago HSLDA had to fight for a community college (open enrollment) student to continue in his degree program (a 4.0 student) because somehow someone overlooked that he didn't "have a high school diploma" and he would be required to *STOP* his college classes until he earned a GED or drop out. That kind of nonsense is not a battle all parents are prepared to fight- for good or bad- so the issue of a "homeschool friendly" college is important to my readers.

FWIW: No, homeschool graduates should NOT go out and "earn" a GED just to check the box. They are high school graduates and should say so proudly! If you are receiving pressure to do so, contact http://www.hslda.org immediately for counsel.
