Gadsden State’s 成人教育服务 can assist individuals who are at least 19 years old with earning the Non-traditional High School Diploma Option (HSDO). Through a partnership with the 阿拉巴马社区学院系统 and the Alabama State Department of Education, 有两种HSDO方案选择:
Option 1 – An adult who attended an Alabama high school and earned enough credits to graduate but did not pass the high school graduation exam
Option 2 – An adult who earned 10 or more credits from an Alabama high school and requires additional credits for high school completion
The HSDO process starts with the student requesting a Transcript Audit form be sent from the local high school last attended to the Gadsden State Adult Services Program. Sending electronically is the preferred method of receipt but it can also be hand-delivered if the form is in a sealed envelope and contains the official school seal. The form must have the signature of the school’s counselor or principal/administrator. Download the form here.
完成HSDO项目后, the student will receive their high school diploma from the last Alabama high school they attended. To enroll in the HSDO program, the individual must meet all eligibility requirements.
For more information, call 256-549-8698 or 256-832-1235.
成人教育服务 isn’t just about preparing students for the GED or HSDO. The department also assists them with identifying satisfying career fields that match their personality, work style and abilities while taking into consideration the personal responsibilities of each student. 成人教育服务 has partnered with Gadsden State’s 技能训练科 to provide students with Career Pathways. Students may enroll in a career pathway while working on their high school credential or after they attain it.
The 技能训练科 provides short-term, non-credit, competency-based training programs that are measured by contact hours rather than semester hours. Students may register for classes at any time through the year and may continue until the appropriate skills have been attained. Students who complete training programs within the division will be awarded a certificate of completion.
Career Pathways also provides credit-bearing degrees and certificates to students who complete their programs of study. Many of the Career Pathways programs are eligible for financial assistance under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. 这些课程以学时为基础. The College has specific registration dates offered only a few times throughout the year for students to register and begin their selected pathway. 注册日期可在 college calendar.
