"Carleton University does not have a formal policy regarding home schooled applicants, and we continue to consider each student on a case by case basis. At this time, we are not looking to change this policy.

Generally speaking, we do expect these types of students to have some sort of examination scores to present to the Admissions Committee. Examples include; provincially recognized examinations, independently graded courses (e.g. courses taken through the ILC) and/or SAT scores. This is particularly important for prerequisite courses required for admissions. We also normally ask that students submit some samples of academic work and a statement of interest for the program to which they are applying."

Home-Schooled Applicants

Home-schooled students applying to Carleton are required to provide official evidence of academic achievement in secondary education in one of the following ways:

* Through final grades in 6 Grade 12 U/M, including prerequisites for the program, obtained through correspondence, at night school, or through the Independent Learning Centre.
* Students may also present credentials from other jurisdictions, for example, results in Advanced Placement (AP) or Advanced Level courses in the General Certificate Education (GCE) examinations.
* You will be considered for entrance scholarships on the basis of your overall averages in the 6 Grade 12 U/M or equivalent courses.

In the absence of final grades in courses as defined above:

* You must submit the results of standardized tests such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) with a minimum of 550 (Verbal) and 550 (Math) or a composite ACT score of 24.
* Your application will be reviewed by an admissions sub-committee. If admitted, you will not be eligible for entrance scholarships. You will be considered for continuing student scholarships at the end of your first year of study, if you satisfy those criteria.

All students are required to meet general admission requirements:

* Students must meet program specific requirements including the prerequisites for the current curriculum.
* Students may be required to provide proof of language proficiency.
* Some programs have higher averages or supplementary documents which are factored in to the admission decision.

What are the minimum academic requirements for ESP admission?

Applicants must meet the following minimum educational criteria:

* Ontario high school applicants: must submit a complete application and have three Grade 12 credits at the U or M level (4U English is recommended) and be eligible for their OSSD.
* Out-of-province high school applicants: must submit a complete application, have a high school diploma and half their grade 12 credits in the academic/university stream.
* Mature applicants (the ESP office will consider those at least 20 years old as of December 31, 2010, away from full-time studies for a one-year period and who have not undertaken other college or university study as “mature”): must submit a complete application and will be considered on a case by case basis. Mature applicants may be considered with fewer than 6 grade 12 courses.
* College/CEGEP applicants: must submit a complete application and may be considered after the completion of one year in a college program.

Please note that these indicate minimum criteria necessary for applications to advance for consideration. The admissions committee may consider applicants who fall short of these educational requirements only if the remainder of the application is exceptional.

Meeting the criteria above does not, in itself, guarantee your application will be accepted.
