To begin the registration process, we will need a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from your local school. Please contact the school to inform them of our request and let us know once they are notified, so we can proceed with sending the MOU. This ensures that your homeschool is recognized and that you are eligible for enrollment in college-level courses.
In the meantime, students can start the application process. They will need to submit their standardized test scores (from 9th grade or higher) and a high school transcript. Both the test scores and transcript can be emailed to us at CEP@AState.edu.
