======================================
Go to College Without a High School Diploma.
|
|
Don’t
give up your dream of enrolling in an online university just
because you didn’t get your high school diploma. Although
most colleges
(online and otherwise) require a high school diploma to enroll in any
program that grants bachelor degrees, there are still several options
available to students who lack the paper to prove that they graduated
high school. See which choice will fit you best:
1. Community
College.
Most
community colleges assume
that a
certain percentage of their population will apply without a
high school diploma, and they plan |
accordingly.They often have programs
specifically designed to help people who show potential succeed without
the diploma. Since more and more community colleges are beginning to
create online programs, many new options are opened up for distance
learners.Check with your local schools to see what programs they
offer, or search online to find a program that suits you best.
2. GED.
Some
colleges will allow students to enroll with a GED. Designed to
be a high school equivalency test, the GED proves that
passing students are comparable with the current graduating
class of
seniors.
3.
Non-traditional
student status.
Students
who have been out of
high school for a long time may qualify for
“non-traditional” student
status. This means that the student has been outside of school for an
extended period of time and is older than the average enrollee. Almost
all online and traditional colleges have an organization dedicated to
helping these students find success.You may be
able to bypass traditional requirements (such as the high
school diploma) by proving
you have relevant life experience and demonstrated maturity.
4. Concurrent enrollment.
|
|
If you still want to get your high
school diploma, you may be able to take online college classes at the
same time you’re working on your high school credits. Many
colleges have special programs that
negotiate concurrent enrollment, which
allows a student to attend two schools at the same time. The good news?
Many high schools allow students to earn double high school credit by
completing college courses, which means you may be able to kill two
birds with one stone. Double the credits, double the diplomas.
