I am homeschooled and interested in applying. Who is eligible to submit recommendation letters on my behalf?
<p><span style="font-family: adobe-clean, "Source Sans Pro", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;">Letters of recommendation provide us with objective, unbiased, and contextual feedback about a student鈥檚 academic and personal attributes. Given the nature of homeschooling, parents are often identified as the head of school, guidance counselor, teacher, coach, and more. While we expect that a student鈥檚 homeschool instructor (usually a parent) will submit an academic and evaluative recommendation, it is strongly recommended that third-party, non-familial sources of recommendation are also submitted. Those that can speak to an academic experience are particularly important. For example, many homeschoolers complete college level courses at a local post-secondary institution; a letter of recommendation from the college instructor would be a valuable third-party assessment tool. In addition to external academic assessments, recommendations that speak to a student鈥檚 involvement in the community can also be helpful. Many homeschooled students participate in community activities, local organizations, regional athletic clubs, local religious programs and more.</span><br>

What is asynchronous learning?
<p>Asynchronous learning is not the same as the remote learning you may have experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an online asynchronous learning environment, the "classroom" is the Canvas Learning Management Platform. Students will engage with faculty, other classmates, and the materials primarily on your own time, while meeting specific deadlines.</p>
