Your Questions Answered: Do I Need to Complete My Courses by the End of June?

Do I need to complete my courses by the end of June?

Seton gives you 14 months from the date your enrollment is approved to complete your courses. For example, if you enroll in January, you have until the following March to complete your work.

Will Seton accept all of the credits on my transcript?

Generally speaking, the answer is yes. However, we will only accept legitimate high school courses for credit. For example, your transcript may list Pre-Algebra in the 9th grade. Seton does not count Pre-Algebra as a high school credit, so that would not be accepted for a high school transfer credit.

Will Seton accept high school courses taken in 8th grade?

Yes, courses like Algebra I or Spanish I taken in junior high should be accepted as transfer credits. If you have such courses listed on your 8th-grade documents but not on your high school transcript, please provide the 8th-grade document so we can recognize those credits.

We homeschooled for some high school years on our own. Can we still transfer those credits when we enroll?

Will I be required to do any testing when I enroll?

Yes, Seton provides a skills assessment test for new enrollment in grades 2 and above. For some new 8th-grade enrollments and all new high school enrollments, we require an Entrance Writing Sample test. This test is used to determine a new student’s writing skills and to place them in the English course that best advances their skill level.

Does Seton offer courses for students with special needs?

Seton has a special services department that offers a wide variety of extra materials and accommodations for students who may be struggling.

When enrolling in a special services course or courses, you will have a consultation with one of our special services representatives during the enrollment process, and they would work with you to make a plan for the student for the year.

If you are already enrolled in the Seton curriculum, you may add one Special Needs adapted course at no additional fee. We will process that directly and send you any needed materials. If you want to adapt more than one course, you may speak to the Seton Admissions Department, pay the fee, and Special Services will process the course changes.

How do I use the Florida Step Up Scholarships?

To pay through the Step Up program, do the following:

Please call Seton, and we will provide a special credit card number to set up your enrollment.

That will give you the cost of your enrollment. Use that cost to reserve the funds on the Step Up portal.

Reserving the funds sends a notification from Step Up to our accounting manager.

He will verify that we have your enrollment in our system. Step Up will then send the funds to Seton, and we will promptly send your books and curriculum to you.

My student did not receive a math book for Teaching Textbooks. Is the course completely online?

By default, our Teaching Textbooks courses are completely online and do not include a physical book. For grades 6-8, we offer the option to purchase a physical copy of the text contained in the online course.

This can be selected on the enrollment application. For the high school level Teaching Textbooks courses, the physical book can be purchased directly from Teaching Textbooks at TeachingTextbooks.com.

Can an international student enroll with Seton?

Yes, Seton can ship material internationally and serve international students. However, before enrolling, you should check with your local school authority to ensure compliance with local homeschool regulations.
