http://www.trentu.ca/undergraduate/documents/Homeschoolpolicy.pdf current as of June 10, 2009 Home Schooled Policy – draft Trent University is committed to alternative forms of education and believe that such students can make significant contributions to our campus. Students who have been home schooled or have attended a secondary school that is not accredited by the Provincial or State Ministry of Education should apply using the same application process as other students. Please review the appropriate method by visiting our website at: www.trentu.ca/undergraduate/howdoiapply.php. Applicants will be considered on the basis of independent evidence of academic achievement which may include high school grades, correspondence courses, college courses, and other pertinent accomplishments. Applicants must provide a portfolio that includes: • An official transcript with grades received (if available) • Course outlines, a list of course texts, method of evaluation, • Sample(s) of written work, which includes the instructor’s comments and grade. This work should be at the senior secondary school level (grade 12 equivalent). • Results of standardized tests such as SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Tests (min. score of 1650) or AP Examinations or Advanced Level course examinations in the General Certificate Education (min. of two for consideration). • Students applying to specialized programs such as Forensic Science, Education, and some Science programs must complete the Ontario 4U level courses (or approved equivalents) in the prerequisite courses through ILC, or another province/state Ministry of Education approved institution. Refer to the 2008 Viewbook for specific admission requirements online at: www.trentu.ca/undergraduate/pdfs/VB2008.pdf. • May be asked to attend an interview with a member of the admission staff • Must provide proof of English Proficiency where required Please note: Submission of less than the above may delay the admission process and limit your admissibility. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship you meet Trent’s standard admission requirements Refer to the 2008 Viewbook for specific admission requirements online at: www.trentu.ca/undergraduate/pdfs/VB2008.pdf.

Trent is going broke. Their admission policy, as far as we could determine, was this: 1) are you able to pay your tuition? 2) are you breathing? If you can honestly say "yes" to these questions, you're in at Trent. (My son arrived to meet with the admissions officer with an impressive portfolio and a sheaf of recommendations. He couldn't get her to look at it, never mind consider it with any actual interest. He applied, didn't need a scholarship, that's good enough. Admittedly, he had done Athabasca courses and so clearly was able to handle university level work, and actually applied as a transfer student, but the reality is, Trent is desperate and in deficit.) |
