Middlesex Community College welcomes qualified home-educated students seeking admission to the College. A home-educated applicant is someone who has graduated from a home schooling program that meets the minimum requirements of his or her local school district.
Home-schooled students who do not have a high school diploma may still attend Middlesex, but only as a part-time, non-degree seeking student. All home schooled students must demonstrate sufficient academic ability, complete the Ability to Benefit test, and satisfy course prerequisites before they can register for classes. Home schooled students should also meet with the Director of Admissions for an interview prior to registering for classes.
Listed below are suggested courses for home schooled student applying to Middlesex Community College (MxCC). These course suggestions are based on the State of Connecticut Board of Higher Education Common Core of Learning Standards and the graduation requirements of area high schools.
