Any program declared not in Good Standing with the NHBA or NCHBC may appeal the ruling to the NCHBC Regional Committee.  If the Member Program is not satisfied with the NCHBC Regional Committee ruling the they may appeal to independent mediation as outlined in the terms listed in the NHBA Application. All Member Programs must consist of predominately traditional HomeSchool Students and must promote traditional HomeSchooling** in a positive way.

All programs that agree to the NHBA terms and fill out the form in the proper timeline will automatically receive a temporary approval in the NHBA.

**A traditional homeschool student-athlete is defined by as a homeschool student that participates in athletics. While they may transfer from one homeschool sports program to another to improve their athletic possibilities, they are committed homeschool students. The contrast to this is a student who is an athlete first, and will chose whatever type of schooling benefits him or her most athletically.”
