To get your online high school credits flowing you have to begin by studying the options out there
. There are a lot of options these days because so many students are thinking about going back and completing their high school education, now that online diplomas are possible. May people who only thought about it peripherally before and never really made a move in that direction are now able to keep their jobs and go back and finish their high school education online.
This is the procedure for you to follow to make that happen...
Get your high school transcripts - You must first thing of course obtain your high school transcripts to find out where you stand. There are many ways to go about this but the easiest of all is to just go to your school and ask if they have them. If they do not for a reason and you can easily go one step higher up in the governmental chain - that is at the county level - and asked them because they are required to keep high school records going back quite some time. This is a document that you can send to the online high school that you're looking at to get an idea of how much further you have in their program before you can either receive a diploma or just take credits for classes you're taking.
Talk with a guidance counselor at 2-3 schools - When you do get in touch with an online high school to talk about credits, you need to make sure that you talk with them about accreditation. This is probably the single biggest issue that you have to clarify before you go further. You want to make sure the high school you choose is accredited and has gone through and accreditation process. This will ensure that colleges around the country will eventually take your coursework in high school seriously and allow that stand as proof that you have completed a standardized curriculum.
Make a decision when you are going to begin - Many times people think this is the toughest part of all. Actually making a move and committing your money and your time. You have to make the effort to do this though because if you do not set a hard start date you will never begin. It is best to have a thorough understanding of why you're doing it and that will usually propel you and give you the momentum to see it through to the end.
You can systematically do all this in a few days and get started accumulating the credits you need for your online high school diploma.
