Admissions

Post University welcomes applications from home-schooled students wishing to pursue further education. We recognize the important contributions home-schooled students make, both in the classroom and in student life. If you are a student who has been home-schooled and are interested in admission to Post University, you should submit the following:

1. Request an official application for admission from the Office of Admissions, complete the form, and return it to the Post University Admissions address provided below. A $40 non-refundable application fee must accompany the application. You may apply online, at no cost, by clicking here.
2. In lieu of a high school transcript, we ask that you present Post University with a portfolio of the work you consider most indicative of your academic achievements. This may include 2 to 3 records, such as grades from community college courses, AP exam results, examples of independent research in mathematics, science, any other academic subjects, or proof of completing graduation requirements.
3. Have the results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT) forwarded to the Office of Admissions. Home-school portfolios come to us without a basis for comparison. In this context, SAT and ACT scores take on added importance and help us to evaluate every student's academic preparedness. Our school code for the SAT is 3698 and the school code for the ACT is 0580.
4. Essay/Personal Statement. We ask you to write about yourself telling us why you chose home schooling and describing your experience.
5. Letters of Recommendation. This is particularly important for home-schooled students, and we encourage you to select your recommenders carefully. Recommenders should be qualified to evaluate you as a student, an individual, and a member of the community.
6. Schedule an optional personal interview and a campus tour. To schedule a visit, click here.

If you have received a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) you must provide copies of the GED test results along with an official copy of course work completed at the high school level.

Admissions Decision Policy

Post University subscribes to a rolling admissions policy. The Office of Admissions makes every effort to notify candidates of their admission decision approximately three weeks after receiving a completed application. In some cases, the Admissions Committee may defer making a final decision until it has received a report of the candidate's midterm grades or until a personal interview takes place. If you have not heard back from us within three weeks, feel free to contact the Admissions office to check the status of your application.
