Adult High School Diploma Program Guidelines

The Adult High School Diploma Program is designed for out-of-school persons under the age of 21 who have not completed high school coursework due to personal or other circumstances,   regardless of whether or not they have been a student in the Garfield County RE-2 Public Schools. Under the supervision of the Garfield County RE-2 School District and in cooperation with the West Garfield Campus of Colorado Mountain College (CMC), persons can enroll in this program to obtain a high school diploma and pursue opportunities to continue post-secondary education.

REGULATIONS

1. Persons who are not currently enrolled in a regular school district program and who are between the ages of 17 and 21 may become eligible to graduate with a high school diploma through the AHSDP. (Persons who are not currently enrolled in a regular school district program and are 16 years old may also be admitted to the program with approval from the school district).

 

2. All credits towards high school completion should be clearly documented, signed and dated, and placed into the permanent, cumulative records for that student at CMC, with copies of these records to be sent to the school district offices.

 

3. All enrollees in the program must successfully complete at least three (3) credits of coursework at CMC if they enter the AHSDP with 14 or more high school credits. The content or course(s) are to be determined on an individual basis through consultation with the CMC AHSDP Coordinator.

 

4. Candidates for the program must have lived in the RE-2 School District service area for at least one year. Documentation of residency is required. 
5. The requirements for the Adult High School Diploma Program are listed in the chart below. AHSDP students must earn a total of 26 credits through successfully completing high school coursework, CMC coursework, and/or GED credits awarded. A student’s course level will be determined by CMC placement testing. Successfully completing placement level coursework will count toward the required units for the Adult High School Diploma. If a student places into college level courses, he or she will enroll in these courses to meet the AHSDP requirements.
