1The Penn Foster High School Diploma is a proprietary program. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the program and program award satisfy the education requirements of potential employers, desired postsecondary institutions, and all other relevant agencies. Neither job placement nor postsecondary admission are guaranteed to graduates upon program completion. Students who attend and complete the program as an adult, age 18 years or older, who wish to further verify their earned award may request a Certificate of Preliminary Education according the process outlined in the student catalog. The program name on file with the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed schools is High School 9-12.Students can take additional courses to meet high school graduation requirements in their respective states. Students and their parents/guardians should always review local education laws and guidance to make informed decisions on graduation requirements and postsecondary acceptance eligibility.
2While accreditation contributes to the legitimacy of a school, acceptance of an online diploma is always up to the individual college or institution. It’s best to call the admissions department of any college you are interested in to see if they accept online diplomas.
