Homeschool Dual Enrollment in New York
New York has no state dual enrollment rule for home-instructed students, so each college sets its own admission requirements and the family pays the college's charges.
How college study works for homeschoolers
The State Education Department (NYSED) says colleges set their own admission requirements and that gaining admission is the family's responsibility. A portfolio of work and SAT or other admission test scores help a home-instructed teen apply.
A student of compulsory age can meet the attendance law through full-time study at a degree-granting college, meaning at least 12 semester hours a semester. Your individualized home instruction plan (IHIP) says so and names the college and the subjects, and the college needs the approved IHIP from your district before enrolling the student full time.
Completing 24 semester hours as a recognized candidate for a college degree can also lead to a high school equivalency diploma.
Before your child can enroll
College admission
Your child meets the college's admission and placement rules for students who have not finished high school.
Enrolling in a college course
First step
Ask the college's admissions office how it admits home-instructed students under 18, and add any course to your IHIP before the term starts.
What it costs
Tuition, fees, and books are the family's cost.
When to apply
The IHIP for the year is due by August 15 or four weeks after the district sends the form, so plan college courses before then.
