Can a NYS Regents diploma be granted student who is homeschooled?

No, a New York State Regents diploma cannot be directly granted to a homeschooled student. Homeschoolers in New York State must meet specific requirements to receive a high school equivalency diploma, which is different from a Regents diploma. The Regents diploma is awarded to students who complete the required coursework and examinations within a publicly funded or approved private school setting.
