Campus Security
At the University of Valley Forge (UVF), we understand that your safety is your number one priority and that's why we make it ours. Campus Security is on duty 24 hours a day to provide an immediate response to all emergencies and to contact appropriate emergency-response personnel if ever needed. There is a campus-wide Emergency Notification System (ENS), ID card access locks for residence halls, and surveillance cameras in strategic areas around campus.
UVF's Campus Security has a close working relationship with PA State Police and Schuylkill Township Police Department. Staff and faculty are trained on active shooter response. UVF also has a Security Student Advisory Committee that provides input and suggestions from students to continue to keep UVF safe and secure.

Safety Tips for All College Students
Make the Call
Add the Campus Security number (484-614-2965) into your cell phone so you have it at your fingertips in the event of an emergency on campus. If you see a crime in progress or even something suspicious, don't hesitate - make the call.
Grab it. Close it. Lock it.
College parking lots and structures are common targets for thieves. Never leave valuables in your car or items in plain view. Take items like GPS devices, removable stereo faceplates, and electronics with you. Make sure your windows are up and the doors are locked. Apply a security device or set the alarm.
Keep Your Residence Hall Secured
Even if you're going next door to a friend's room, always grab your keys and lock the door. A propped door is a perfect target for would-be thieves and allows them quick and easy access to your belongings. If your room has additional doors and windows, always be sure they are closed and locked as well.
Report Solicitors
Magazine subscriptions, donation requests, spa packages, and even money-now schemes are some of the common methods criminals use to take your money. Avoid solicitor's scams by politely saying no and immediately notifying campus security. Never provide a solicitor with your personal information.
Protect Your Property
Never leave items like your backpack, laptop, or cell phone unattended - even if it's just for a minute. Make it a habit to take these valuables with you.
Don't Walk Alone
UVF has a safety escort service, take advantage of it or walk with friends or classmates.
Students may park in spaces designated "General/Student Parking." All students with vehicles must obtain a parking permit. To obtain a permit, the student must provide the Student Life Office with a completed Vehicle Registration Form. Visitors staying on campus overnight or for more than one day must obtain a visitor's parking permit for their vehicle by registering with the RA of the residence hall in which they will be staying. Overnight guests with visitor's permits can park in "General/Student Parking." Vehicles without a permit are subject to fines and towing at the owner's expense.

Admissions FAQs
Do colleges accept homeschool transcripts?
Yes, most colleges and universities accept homeschool transcripts. You'll need to create a transcript that lists all courses taken, grades earned, and a brief description of each subject. Many colleges may ask for additional documentation to verify the curriculum or learning outcomes.
How do I create a homeschool transcript?
A homeschool transcript should include the following:
You can use online tools or templates to help structure your transcript.
Transcript Template (Right-click and "Save Link As" to download)
Will colleges expect me to follow a traditional curriculum?
No, colleges understand that homeschool students may follow a non-traditional curriculum. You are not required to use a specific homeschooling program, but the courses should be rigorous and meet the academic standards of the college.
Do I need standardized test scores (e.g., SAT, ACT, CLT)?
UVF is test-optional, . It's best to check each college's specific testing policy. If you submit them, we will use those test scores for placement into math and English courses. If you don't submit test scores, we have placement tests that we designed that you will take instead.
How do I handle extracurricular activities and letters of recommendation?
Homeschool students are encouraged to get involved in extracurricular activities (sports, clubs, volunteering, internships, etc.). For letters of recommendation, you can ask mentors, tutors, employers, or community leaders who are familiar with your work and character. We understand that your experiences may look different from those of traditional students.
What if I don't have a GPA or class rank?
Homeschool students typically don't have a GPA or class rank based on a standardized grading system. You may be asked to provide your grading scale (e.g., A = 90-100, B = 80-89, etc.) and explain how you evaluate coursework. .
Should I submit a portfolio of my work?
If your grading was pass/fail, a work sample does help us evaluate the rigor of your coursework.
Do homeschool students have the same opportunities for financial aid as public school students?
Yes, homeschooled students are eligible for the same federal and state financial aid (e.g., FAFSA) as other students. You are also eligible for institutional scholarships.
How do I prove that my homeschooling is legitimate?
You may be asked to provide documentation showing that your homeschooling complies with the laws of your state (e.g., notice of intent to homeschool, records of testing or assessments). We are familiar with most states' homeschool laws.
Can I apply to college as a homeschool student even if I've been in a public or private school for part of high school?
Yes, you can still apply as a homeschooled student if you were homeschooled for any portion of high school. You'll need to explain the structure of your education and provide transcripts for both your public/private school and homeschool years, if applicable.
Do I need to submit a GED if I'm homeschooled?
A GED is not required if you have completed your high school education through homeschooling, provided you can submit a detailed transcript and meet the other application requirements. However, if you took the GED, you may submit those scores as part of your application if they are beneficial.
How do I make my application stand out?
We value the self-motivation and discipline that often come with homeschooling. Our homeschooled students typically excel in academic curiosity, resilience, and ability to work independently.
Should I schedule an interview with the admissions office?
We always encourage students to come for an on-campus visit. It can be a great opportunity to showcase your personality and explain your homeschooling background in person. It's also a chance to ask questions about the college and demonstrate your interest in the school.
What if I don't fit the traditional "high school" mold?
Homeschooling allows you to tailor your education to your interests and strengths. We appreciate the diversity of perspectives that homeschool students bring, so don't be afraid to highlight how your education has been non-traditional but still rigorous and meaningful.
How do I handle dual enrollment or community college credits?
If you've taken college-level courses during high school (dual enrollment), make sure to include those credits on your application. You'll need to request official transcripts from the college(s) where you took courses and submit them to your prospective schools.
Are there special scholarships for homeschool students?
Some scholarships are specifically for homeschool graduates. These may be offered by homeschool associations, local foundations, or certain colleges. It's a good idea to research scholarships in your area or inquire about opportunities at the colleges you're applying to.
