Chapter 35...online H.s. Diploma

[Markn123]

My wife is thinking of taking an online High School Diploma course. Will most community colleges allow the diploma when applying for Chapter 35 and pursuing an degree.

Yes it is a credential that is acceptable

I would have to say yes, DEPENDING upon the accreditation of the online "school".

Of course, the BEST way to determine your answer would be to contact the admissions desk at the community college with the name, contact info, of the online school.

It'd be a shame for her to take this online course and find, later, that it's not worth the price of the paper it's written on.

Another GOOD alternative is for her to contact this community college and enquire of them whether THEY have a high school diploma equivalency course. I know that our local community college does have such a course.....but, our local community college is among the largest community colleges in the nation (they even offer bachelor degree programs in conjunction with the UofT).

Yes the community has a High School diploma course. But she was seeing if she could do it home online. I will tell her to ask the community college. Its an accredited online school. thanks
