Naropa University welcomes applications from home-educated applicants. In lieu of a high school transcript, Naropa requests that home-educated applicants present a portfolio of the work they completed during their high school years. Home educated students may be creative in their presentation, but at a minimum, the portfolio should include the following:
A narrative describing the subjects studied per year and the modes of learning for each subject
A list of extracurricular/community activities, such as team sports, volunteer positions, and group membership
A list of any academic achievements during high school that support academic preparedness for college, such as internship positions
A parent or teacher narrative
A self-evaluation of their work and how it contributed to their intellectual growth
Transcripts from any college level courses taken (if applicable)
Transcripts from any mainstream high school courses taken (if applicable)
SAT and/or ACT scores are optional
Along with this portfolio, home-educated students must complete all other undergraduate admissions requirements.
