Online High School Diploma

Most community colleges assume that a certain percentage of their population will apply without a online high school diploma, and they plan accordingly. They often have programs specifically designed to help people who show potential succeed without the diploma. Many colleges have special programs that negotiate concurrent enrollment, which allows a student to attend two schools at the same time. The good part is that 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.

You may be able to bypass traditional requirements (such as the high school diploma) by proving you have relevant life experience and demonstrated maturity.
