Louisiana homeschool graduation requirements

For a BESE-approved home study program, the DOE says the home study program is responsible for creating and issuing diplomas, and that a diploma from that option carries the same weight as a state-issued diploma. The captured HSLDA source also says families who use only the nonpublic-school-not-seeking-approval option through high school will not be eligible for a TOPS award.

The captured sources do not directly explain college admission rules. Families should keep detailed transcripts and records, especially if they want to document eligibility for scholarships or later applications.

The captured sources do not clearly explain dual-enrollment access for Louisiana homeschoolers.

The DOE page says students in a BESE-approved home study program may participate in interscholastic athletic activities. The captured sources do not clearly explain sports access under the nonpublic-school-not-seeking-approval option.

The captured sources do not clearly explain service access for homeschooled students with disabilities. One home study renewal option does mention a certified teacher statement comparing the child's instruction to public-school instruction for a child with similar disabilities.
