If you would like to earn your high school diploma through our online program, you will have to meet certain requirements before acceptance. This page is dedicated to detailing the specific requirements to ensure a student receives their high school diploma quickly without interuption.
In order to be eligible to earn a high school diploma through the online program, a student will need to pass each section of the test. A passing grade of at least 70% will allow a student to move to the next stage of the online test. Each potential graduate will need to complete an online essay, detailing prior education, military or work experience. These will be reviewed individually by our staff to ensure they meet proper grammatical and character requirements as stated while taking the test.
The online equiavalency test is not timed and students are not required to take it in one sitting. Each student will choose a login and password in order to input when they are prepared to continue the testing program. This feature allows individuals with busy or non-busy schedules to have an equal opportunity to pass the program.
When a student completes the testing platform, they will be directed to a new page where they can complete the graduation package order form. In this form, they will determine shipping choice and how their name will read on the high school diploma. Once complete, the form will then be forwarded to one of our administrative staff for review.
When the form is received, our education counselors will review the following:
- Test scores
- Enrollment application
- Life experience information
Once the graduation package application has finished the review process, the student will receive a notification. The notification will allow the student to know the current state of the process and advise them if they are eligible to receive the graduation package. If they are, our staff will complete the order processing and will promptly mail out the graduation diploma package. The diploma package will be shipped through UPS under the shipping choice selected by the student.
Depending on the time it takes for a student to complete the online testing platform, it typically takes 3-7 days for the entire process to be completed and the student to receive the diploma package. The shipping options will also affect the duration of time it takes to receive the graduation package. Our school encourages students who use a credit card to be sure that the card has sufficient funds to ensure no delay in receiving their diploma package.
Our online high school course has entirely different characteristics than a traditional high school. Traditional high schools award a diploma to students after they pass five areas of education curriculum and have earned 21 credits. Our high school diploma uses an accelerated format online which allows students to achieve their diploma quickly.
Our program combines a students' test score with their work, military or life experience. Due to this unique characteristic, a student need not participate in a traditional school setting to receive their diploma certification. Each student will need to pass the four main subject curriculum and life experience essay online in order to be eligible to receive their graduation package.
Our education counselors keep certain guidelines in mind when reviewing graduation package applications:
- Credits students have earned in a traditional classroom setting
- The successful completion of the online high school course
- The work, military or life experience essay
- The age of the student. If a student is not at least eighteen, they will need the approval of a legal guardian.
Note: Guidance counselors are available to answer questions about our program, either before, during or after the testing course. Our staff is committed to helping a student understand how the program works, the uses of the diploma and what organizations accept this alternative credential. In most cases, our education counselors will respond to all questions within one business day. Our school appreciates your interest in the program and we look forward to assisting your pursuit of higher education. |
