DIPLOMA
3 WAYS TO EARN YOUR DIPLOMA
1. WALLINGFORD ADULT HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT DIPLOMA
This program offers residents of Wallingford the opportunity to earn a high school
diploma. Participants may earn credits through a combination of afternoon courses,
documented work or training experience. Credits maybe transferred from public or
private high schools and state technical high schools. To receive this “traditional”
diploma, you must earn 21 credits, including those you may have earned at your
former high school. The Wallingford Adult High School Credit Diploma Program
offers small classes and online courses. When all credits are completed, of which
four must be in English, three in mathematics, two in science, three in social studies
(including U.S. history and civics), and two in Vocational Education Arts, a diploma
will be awarded. (CDP is open to all people who are at least 17 years or older, do not
hold a high school diploma, and are no longer officially enrolled in high school). For
more information about this diploma option, please call the Adult Education School
Counselor, Monday through Thursday between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
2. NATIONAL EXTERNAL DIPLOMA PROGRAM (NEDP)
Earn a Wallingford Adult High School diploma independently, through the successful
completion of a series of assignments in a computer-based format. Through this
option, students earn their high school diploma independently through the successful
demonstration of life skill competencies as well as individualized competency.
You will meet with an assessor periodically to help you reach your goals. NEDP is
recommended for those 21 years of age who have acquired some of the life skill
experiences needed for successful completion of the program.
3. PREPARATION FOR GED® TEST
This program prepares adult learners to pass the four-part, computer-based exam
to earn a State of Connecticut high school diploma. Students receive necessary
instruction in each of four subject areas – science, social studies, math and language
arts – plus the basic computer skills needed to take the exam. Instructors will
also review the official website, ged.com where students can access related exam
information and exam registration procedures. To be able to register for the GED®
exam, students must be a least 17 years old and officially withdrawn from school for
six months. Students can begin the GED® registration process online at ged.com and
complete the process in person at Wallingford Adult education. Individuals with a
documented disability who require accommodations to take the GED® test should use
www.ged.com to apply for test accommodations.
