LaGrange College invites home-educated students to apply for
admission. In addition to the items requested for First-year admission,
home-schooled students are asked to provide two letters of
recommendation. Please note family members may not submit
letters of recommendation.
Students holding a General Education Development (GED) (High
School Level) may be considered for admission although they will
generally not be accepted to the college prior to the year in which their
class would have normally been eligible for admission to the college.
Applicants must submit GED scores in addition to the certificate.
Students possessing a GED must also submit either SAT or ACT scores
as a part of the application process. The SAT or ACT requirement may
be waived for students who are at least 24 years of age. Submission of a
GED certificate and scores does not automatically guarantee admission
to the college.
ADMISSION STATUS
A number of factors are considered in making an admission decision,
including a student's grade point average, difficulty of course work,
standardized test scores, extracurricular and co-curricular activities,
recommendations and admission essay. Students may be accepted to
LaGrange College in one of several categories.
