Applying to Benedictine as a Homeschooled Student

Homeschooled students go through the same simple application process as their peers from brick-and-mortar schools. You and your family have completed the hard work to prepare you for college. Now there are just 3 final steps left to complete.

  1. Complete your Benedictine College application. Our application is free and easy to complete. Be sure to identify yourself as a homeschooled student. If you can’t find your curriculum provider in the drop-down box, or you design your own curriculum, select Home School Clearinghouse as your high school.
  2. Send Benedictine College your standardized test score, if you have one. Benedictine accepts the SAT, ACT and the CLT. However, keep in mind that Benedictine is a test-optional college, meaning that a standardized exam score is not required for admission. Speak with your Admission Counselor to discuss how applying as a test-optional student may impact your academic scholarship.
  3. Submit your high school transcript to Benedictine College.
    • If you are preparing your own homeschool transcript:
      • Create your own transcript using the guidelines in our free Catholic Homeschool Student & Parent Guide to Preparing for College Admission. Your transcript should include your anticipated graduation date (you select the date) and the signature of a homeschooling parent. Any copy of the transcript that is signed by your parent is considered an “Official Transcript” by our Admission staff.
      • There are three ways to submit your official homeschool transcript to Benedictine.
        • The homeschooling parent may email the official transcript to Benedictine at ravenmail@hwfj-art.com.
        • Print the transcript. Sign it, place it in an envelope, seal it, and place the homeschooling parent’s signature over the seal of the envelope. Mail the transcript to:

          Benedictine College Office of Admission
          1020 N. 2nd Street
          Atchison, KS  66002
        • Alternatively, you may choose to utilize a program such as FastTranscript, which helps you create your transcript and send it digitally to Benedictine College.
  4. If you are enrolled with a homeschool curriculum provider who is preparing your transcript:
    • Contact your homeschool curriculum provider and ask them to send an official transcript to Benedictine College.
