Apply as a Homeschool Student
The University of Dallas welcomes homeschool students to apply for undergraduate admission.
In fact, approximately 10% of the current undergraduate student body comes from a
home educated background. Homeschool students find that small seminar-style classes,
the tight-knit community and an active faith life make UD a perfect place to build
upon their educational foundation. We understand how exhilarating yet difficult the
college search can be, so rest assured that the homeschool application process has
been specifically tailored to the unique characteristics of a home education.
We encourage you to explore the pages of this website to learn more about the application
process for homeschool students, scholarships, deadlines and other important information
regarding applying for admission. We look forward to working with you and wish you
the best of luck in your college search!
