Enrollment Requirements

  • Age - 13
    • Any student who is of compulsory age must ensure the program satisfies the state and local education requirements in their school district, or students will be considered truant. You need to check the requirement of your school district to ensure the Penn Foster High School program satisfies these requirements.
  • Education - 8th Grade
    • Age 13-17:
      • Unfortunately, minors would need to be directed back to their school districts as we are unable to enroll a minor who has not successfully completed 8th grade.
    • Age 18 and older:
      • Prospective students who are over the age of 18 may be able to take a standardized test such as the TABE, HiSET, GED, or California Achievement Test (CAT) (With Premium Scoring) and use the results to satisfy the 8th grade completion requirement.
      • Prospective students are responsible for finding a location to take the test and any costs that may be associated with it.
      • Prospective students do not necessarily have to "pass" one of these tests to satisfy the requirements, as their score can be reviewed by our education team to determine if they have performed at an 8th grade level.
  • Technology Requirements - You will need access to high-speed internet to begin your program. In addition, you will need access to a Microsoft® Windows® based computer running Windows 10® or later or an Apple® Mac® computer running macOS® Sierra Version 11.2 or later, Microsoft® Office 2019 or Microsoft 365® and an email account to complete this program with Penn Foster.

Transfer Credits

Penn Foster reduces tuition by $20 for each high school course transferred.

To transfer credits, your previous school must send us an official, sealed copy of your transcripts. Then, we’ll review the credits you previously earned for similar classes. To be able to transfer classes, we look at things like the grade you earned and if you completed the full class. The maximum number of transfer credits allowed is 15. Once your transfer credits are accepted, they will be applied to your account and your tuition may be updated based on the number of credits you earned.

 

Refund Policy

At Penn Foster, we continue to develop new ways to expand and improve student satisfaction. However, if you are not satisfied with your online high school program or can no longer continue your studies, we offer a generous refund policy. If you cancel within the first 6 days of enrollment you will receive a full refund. After the first 6 days your refund amount will be based on:


  • Lessons completed
  • Tuition collected
  • Enrollment date
