High
School Diploma and GED Information
What is
an on-line GED?
If you want to earn your high
school diploma, but don't have time to attend regular
classes or
feel you're too old or it's too late to go back to school - an online high
school General Equivalency Diploma (GED) can be a
solution.
A variety
of personal circumstances may have kept you from finishing high school.
Online GED programs give students a second chance to graduate and
earn a
diploma. Many schools have regionally and nationally
accredited distance
education
programs that let you study and learn at home. You can select from
numerous self-paced courses. You take only the courses you need to
graduate,
without disrupting your job, your family life, or your
leisure activities. Specific
admissions information varies by
school or institution – check the websites for

How does it
work?
The
objective is to enable students to earn a high school diploma while
studying at
home. Whether pursuing a transition to the workforce
or a post-secondary
education, students can complete each course
while maintaining job and/or family
responsibilities. In
general, the process works as follows:
1. You may enroll by
visiting the Enrollment page of the website. Once there, you
may
choose to print a copy of the Enrollment Agreement, request one by mail,
or
enroll online.
2. You choose either the General
Diploma Program or the Academic Diploma
program if you plan to
pursue a college education after obtaining your high school
GED.
If you've already completed some high school, send your transcript and the
school will evaluate any possible transfer credits.
3.
Depending on your education level - you may enroll in the 9th, 10th,
11th, or
12 grades. After your transcript has been evaluated, the
school will work with you
to set up the courses you need to
graduate. Some will be required; others will be
electives you
choose. Tip: Get online Homework Help and
