High School Dropouts

In some circumstances, a minor between 16 and 18 years of age who drops out of high school may be considered a student with special needs and be admitted to an appropriate 大学 and Career Readiness or Workforce Development and Career Readiness program at COA, subject to the following conditions:

  • The local public and private school system determines that such admission is the best educational option for the student
  • The admission is approved through COA’s 大学 and Career Readiness or Workforce Development and Career Readiness program

COA may refuse to enroll a minor, or may enroll a minor under conditional status, for any of the following reasons:

  • Suspension or expulsion from school
  • History of violent behavior
  • History of possession or use of illegal drugs
  • Other behaviors deemed inappropriate for an adult educational setting

The approval of the local school system referred to above may be waived if you’ve been out of school for at least six months, and the application is supported by a notarized petition of a parent, 法定监护人, agency or other person with legal custody. The petition should certify your residence, 出生日期, date of leaving school and petitioner’s legal relationship.

High School Equivalency Diploma 项目

Regulations of the State Board of Community 大学s will be followed in administering the HSED program.

High School Students

High school students who meet all COA admissions and course prerequisite requirements may be admitted to appropriate courses, provided that they’re approved by the high school principal or designee, and are making progress toward high school graduation. High school students 18 years of age or older may take 类 at COA without approval from the local school system.

Tuition is currently free for high school students taking Career and 大学 Promise 类. Once admitted, you’ll be treated the same as all other students and earn regular college credit. COA doesn’t offer high school 类.

Please refer to COA’s Accessibility Support Services policy for accommodations for students with disabilities wishing to register for Workforce Development and Career Readiness programs.
