Home schooled students who have received home schooled diplomas will be accepted for admission as all other high school diploma students.
Home schooled students who have not received a diploma but are eighteen years of age or have a GED will be admitted as all other applicants.
Home schooled students who are sixteen or seventeen years of age may be admitted with a parent or guardian's signature in place of the principal/high school guidance counselor, if permission from the local school district is not readily available. Applicants will be admitted as part-time students until they reach the age of 18 or receive a diploma or GED. Students are required to take the Placement Test before registering for classes.
Home schooled students who are at least fourteen years of age, but not yet sixteen, may be admitted as non-matriculated part-time students with special permission of the Director of Admissions and the signature of a parent or guardian, if permission from the local school district is not readily available. The Director will interview the applicant and make a recommendation to the Dean of Students regarding acceptance. Students are required to take the Placement Test before registering for classes.

College costs less than you think, especially with financial aid.
Filling out the FAFSA is free and it’s the key to grants, state aid, and even tuition-free college.
Start your FAFSA at studentaid.gov and use Atlantic Cape’s school code: 002596. If you are a resident of NJ, you will receive an email instructing you to fill out the NJ State Financial Aid application once the FAFSA application is processed. Be sure to fill it out too as you can save even more through state aid!
Not a U.S. citizen? No problem - you may still qualify for financial aid through New Jersey. Just complete the NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application instead of the FAFSA.
Need help? We’ve got you. Just ask your Specialist or stop by the One-Stop.
You can register online through your Atlantic Cape Connect portal via the Self Service card or meet with your Specialist in person.
We’ll make sure you stay on track with your goals and have a schedule that works for your life.
