Admission Requirements for
Home-Schooled Students
Successful applicants from home schooling follow curriculum requirements of the Indiana CORE 40 or Academic Honors Diploma. Our admissions requirements for home- schooled students are the same requirements used for students attending a public or private high school. We strongly encourage you to schedule a personal appointment with Admissions, register for a Campus Tour, or use the Information Request form. Financial Aid is available to all prospective home-schooled students who qualify.
Recommended Process
- Take the SAT I or ACT ( with essay ) test late in the junior year or early in the fall of the senior year.
- Format your home-school transcript as required by the PNC Admissions Office (transcript requirements are described below). Following these requirements can result in a transcript that can be used for most any college or university to which you apply.
- Apply for admission when 6 semesters of grades and SAT I or ACT scores are available. Students may be admitted pending the senior year transcript. Depending on quality indicators, applicants may be required to take the PNC Assessment test in English, Mathematics, and writing as a part of the enrollment process.
