In order for students to participate in a High School+ program, they must meet certain eligibility requirements:

1. Be 18 years of age or older at the time of enrollment

   • Students under 19 must be formally released from high school before registering. Contact your local school district for release forms.

2. Students must not have a high school diploma or equivalency.

   • If you have your GED, and are looking to earn a high school diploma, check out Open Doors as a way to continue your education.

Each student works with an advisor to assess what the student has already learned through: 

1. Life, 

2. Work, 

3. School, or 

4. Military experience. 

Together, they develop a plan to complete the rest of what the student needs to complete a diploma. 

Students can demonstrate their knowledge — and receive high school credits — in several ways. These include

1. A traditional placement test, 

2. High school and college transcripts, or 

3. A written portfolio. 

Students then complete any remaining credits by: 

1. Taking adult basic education courses that teach basic skills in reading, writing, math and English language within more rigorous, high school-level material.

2.  Substituting college classes for the remaining high school requirements.
