The petition shall certify the minor’s residence, date of birth, date of leaving school, name of last school attended, and the petitioner’s legal relationship to the minor. (b) If the minor is an emancipated minor, the requirement for the release form from the public or private educational agency and the requirement for the notarized petition are waived. The minor must provide legal documentation of emancipation. Admission requirements for an emancipated minor shall be the same as for an applicant 18 years old or older. 3. Concurrent Enrollment.
