For GED certificate students, only official test scores need to be provided when scores are required by the issuing state.
• Proof of graduation (POG) from a foreign institution must be translated to English and certified to be at least equivalent to a United States secondary school by an agency that is a member of National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), Association of International Evaluators, Inc.

•  Students who graduated from a high school located in the United States or its territories must provide acceptable proof of graduation (POG) to the College within 30 calendar days from the date the initial class starts. Students
  who have graduated from a high school located in a foreign country (outside the United States and its territories) must provide acceptable proof of graduation (POG) to the College before they can start classes. If POG is not
  received from the agency listed by the student on their transcript request within the required timeframe, the student’s enrollment will be cancelled. Scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days are excluded from the
  total number of calendar days.
• The College reserves the right to request POG at any time. In addition, students must attest to their high school credential by listing the school or agency on their Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) each time they apply for financial aid. Students are advised that if, for any reason, the student is selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education and the student is found to be ineligible for federal financial aid, as a result of their high school credential the student will be immediately dismissed from the College.
• If documentation is found to be false, untrue, or invalid, the student will be subject to immediate dismissal from the College, all credits earned will be invalidated, and all Title IV financial aid along with any state or institutional
  financial aid that was disbursed on the student’s behalf must be returned to the appropriate source and the student will be responsible for payment to the college for any and all monies refunded.
