Sebastian (a lady) Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I found this guideline for homeschoolers applying to University of Maryland: If you’ve been home-schooled, you should provide with your completed application a transcript with the following: course descriptions, books used, methods of evaluation and grades received (credit contracts). You should meet the same minimum high school course requirements expected of all applicants; your SAT and/or ACT scores will be strongly considered in the review of your application. Please also include general information about your home schooling program or agency and a letter of recommendation from an academic professional as well as the home schooling teacher/parent. If you’ve taken college-level courses, you should also include an official college transcript with your application. So what is a credit contract? Is this just a guideline for how each course was graded? (I also found it interesting that UofMD spelled it home-schooled. That made my first couple searches come up empty.)

Kareni Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I've never heard the term 'credit contracts' before. I wonder if it is analogous to a grading scale (for example, A = 90 to 100%). Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 course descriptions, books used, methods of evaluation and grades received (credit contracts) I recommend that you call them and ask them exactly what they are talking about. I did write a course contract for English I last year because we were using some unconventional materials. It included the following: course description course objectives course requirements resource list I did not include information on how grades were to be calculated, but did include what the minimum passing grade would be.
