Some high school courses taken in the public schools or at other community colleges may be transferrable to the Wilson Community College’s Adult High School Diploma program.

Adults 18 and over (or sixteen- or seventeen-year olds with the proper release forms from the public school and parents) may enroll in this high school completion program. Placement test scores of at least grade nine on appropriate reading, math, and language tests are also required for enrollment.

How long does it take to complete?

Each student progresses at his/her own speed. Students must successfully complete all of the Adult High School Diploma Program requirements.
