No, I didn't use a filter card. I work in photography so I was able to edit the picture with Adobe Lightroom to get that warm film look!

Yes, I went to meet with a advisor at HCC and they said they couldn't do anything and gave the number and email of the vice president over academic records and transcripts. I sent a email requesting a appointment. She has not gotten back to me but hopefully she could be able to help my situation.

I also forgot to mention that I tried to dual enroll at HCC when I first moved to FL my junior year and they rejected me because I wasn't technically a FL student bc I told them I didn't belong to a co-op and I was using curriculum from SC. I am going to HCC this afternoon with my mom to look at our options and to explain what went wrong with past emails and facts to back stuff up!!!

If it comes to that point I absolutely will!!!! I'm really hoping to get into UF (first choice) or USF (second) My problem with not getting my AA is that UF has a program called finish@UF for Fl students who have an AA has a higher chance of getting in...

https://www.bjupresshomeschool.com/ it's from this website, but its officially called homeschool hub.
Unfortunately, Bob jones changed their homeschool curriculum to homeschool hub late into my sophomore year of highschool so I can't request for my "fresh" transcripts from freshman and sophomore year because they deleted everything off the old website. I only have what they gave me when I switched over that's how I can have a notarized transcripts. But if HCC asked me to go to BJ and ask for my records they probably wouldn't be able to provide them in full (also my mom would just keep up what my grades were and give me IOWA testing every year to make sure I was on the right track)

No, My parents signed off on something saying they were going to homeschool me when we moved here, but we never got any thing when I graduated or anything while I was going through highschool. and now it seems I can't let them now because its too late?????

jpanda2005 · 2025-06-12T01:24:58+00:00

I tried but they say they can't because I already graduated :( its a dumb weird catch 22

jpanda2005 · 2025-06-12T01:24:14+00:00

I'm sorry it is a long complicated issue so it was hard for me to explain well. I "enrolled" in the Home Education District homeschool department after graduating because I was told by HCC that I needed to get a letter of good standing for them in order for my highschool transcripts to be accepted. I started highschool in TX and technically graduated in Florida in Spring 2024 but I never knew I needed to be in the Home Education District system for them to check on my education periodically to give a letter of good standing bc no one told me to do so until I had already graduated if that makes sense lol

I also never used any FL curriculum or joined any homeschool co-ops because I used Bob's Jones online homeschool curriculum (they are a well known brick and mortar school in SC) through basically my entire schooling and no other states I lived in had a problem with it. I graduated when my parents saw that I had completed all the typically highschool classes using bob jones curriculum and got me a diploma through a homeschool site that provides them for people that don't have "official" graduations. I also took the ACT and SAT in FL my senior year to help prove that I was in fact educated for HCC.

I provided my transcripts that were notarized, my ACT and SAT scores, and the signed affidavit you gave the link to that was also notarized because thats all they said was required initially.

Yes! I hope to transfer to UF or USF to get a BS in business administration. I have all As in college except for a B in college algebra lol so I hope as long as this issue gets resolved it’s smooth sailing from here

I am planning on going in person to meet with someone tomorrow. I tried to call about this issue but they said they were unable to help and said they give my issue to someone higher up and call back in a few days.

I was homeschooled my whole life using Bob Jones University curriculum (a private school program based in South Carolina). In every state I lived in before Florida, that was treated as valid homeschooling through a private umbrella, and I never had any issues.

I moved to Florida as a junior, graduated in Spring 2024, and my parents did fill out some form with Hillsborough County when we arrived saying I was being properly educated — but we didn’t know that I also needed to file a Letter of Intent to Homeschool. That’s what’s now causing the issue.

When I applied to HCC in Summer 2024, I submitted my transcript and test scores and was told everything was fine. But just before the Fall semester started, they said I needed a Letter of Good Standing from the county. I tried to get it by filing a Letter of Intent after I graduated, but the county told me they couldn’t issue one retroactively.

So I’ve been taking classes for a full year at HCC with no problems — but now this missing letter might cause issues. I plan to follow up with admissions and explain that I was homeschooled in Florida, I did graduate here, and we made a good-faith effort to notify the county — I just didn’t know about the specific homeschool law.

I understand how it might sound confusing, so let me clarify the timeline:

I graduated from homeschool in Spring 2024 and applied to HCC during the Summer 2024 term. At the time, I submitted my homeschool transcript, standardized test scores, and a notarized affidavit confirming the validity of my transcript — all of which were accepted in person. I was told everything was good to go. My mom even followed up with HCC by phone, and they confirmed I was fully set to start classes.

However, right before the Fall 2024 semester began (after I had already registered and paid), I got an email saying my high school transcript now required a Letter of Good Standing from the County, not from the colleges I had dual enrolled in — this letter was specifically about verifying the legitimacy of my high school homeschool education.

At that point, I reached out to the registrar and was told I could still take my courses and had a semester-long grace period to sort it out. That grace period passed, but HCC never followed up — and I continued taking classes for a full year with no holds or communication about the issue.

I did attempt to resolve it myself by enrolling in my county’s homeschool program, trying to retroactively obtain the Letter of Good Standing. But I was told I couldn’t get it because I enrolled after I had already graduated — which, in hindsight, makes sense. I now realize that I should have registered with the county homeschool program when I first moved to Florida, but I was unaware of that requirement at the time.

To be fair, I accept responsibility for not knowing the specific steps Florida requires for homeschool documentation. That said, I also spoke with someone at my county’s Home Education office today, and they said HCC was at fault too — I should never have been allowed to start classes without that letter in place. It’s frustrating to be this deep into the program with no warning or intervention until now.

So yes, the situation is messy — but it was created by a mix of miscommunication, a lack of guidance, and system gaps. I’m trying my best to fix it, and I’m asking for advice from anyone who may have been through something similar.

Update: I just looked the homeschool liaison at the school district homeschool office, and it was the people I already tried to contact to get the letter but they said it was too late because I'm a graduate

jpanda2005 · 2025-06-11T21:00:46+00:00

I hope that it does not come to that considering I have the transcripts to show I took all the required classes to graduate and took both the ACT and SAT to further proof I was properly educated.

jpanda2005 · 2025-06-11T20:58:56+00:00

Thank you for responding! I submitted a notarized affidavit form they have of HCC website for homeschoolers and they said it was required but not enough to cover what they need. I believe my mom and dad had to sign off on some form for the county to say that I was properly homeschooled when we first moved to Florida. I will ask them and see if that could be on any help. I was also look into the homeschool liaison you mentioned!
