High School Graduation

Done with high school?

The Affidavit of Completion is a notarized form or letter in which a parent affirms legally that the student completed high school as a homeschool student--either through a home education program or the new personalized education program (PEP) option.

Florida law requires all colleges in the Florida college system to accept the Affidavit of Completion as the legal equivalent of a high school diploma. (See question 15 in the Florida Dept. of Education's official Home Education FAQ for parents.) 

Florida colleges may have their own Affidavit of Completion forms, or parents can use their own.

The Affidavit of Completion may be a stand-alone document or it can be combined with the student's transcript or even put on the reverse side of the student's diploma.

Samples of the Affidavit of Completion are shown below. This document should be signed by the parent in front of a Notary Public after the student has officially graduated as a home education student. [Verify the wording for the notarization section with a notary public in case of changes in Florida law on this.]

Some Florida school districts may ask for a copy of the Affidavit of Completion when a student is graduating so they have a record that the student graduated, but most do not want a copy.

Instead, this form is to be kept by the student and/or parent to send to colleges or others asking for verification of the homeschool graduation. It should be used in conjunction with a homeschool diploma issued by the parent.
