Home : Prospective Students : Home School/Non-Traditional
Home Schoolers and Others in Non-Accredited Programs
In order to be competitive for admission to Radford University, students from other
than accredited schools (including home-schooled students whose programs are not
accredited) must provide the following documentation for review by the admissions
committee:
- Application for admission
- Application fee of $50
- Transcripts
- Grades (level of performance)
- SAT I and/or ACT scores
- SAT II scores in the following subjects:
- Writing
- Math (Level Ic or IIc)
- Third area of study to be chosen by the applicant
Radford University attracts competitive students from 38 states and 44 countries.
An increasing number of these students have unique educational backgrounds that
require special evaluation. The university administration recognizes that students
from other than accredited schools may not study in the traditional classroom environment
and that they are unable to provide the traditional documentation needed to evaluate
their academic performance. Radford University believes that providing this population
the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in their college preparatory curriculum
through the above-listed documentation will be beneficial to both the student and
the university.
Please be sure to include with your application packet transcripts of any college
course work you may have completed. Also, make arrangements to take the three SAT
II subject tests described in the policy above as soon as possible.
