Online high schools and colleges are just as legitimate and accredited as other schools and colleges and their diplomas are generally accepted everywhere. However, admission to a university does not depend solely on where you previously studied. However, admission in a college cannot be rejected just based on studying from an online high school.
Yes, it is illegal to use fake high school diplomas as they are considered fraudulent documents and can result in legal consequences.
Community colleges do accept high school diplomas from an accredited school. I know that because I paid for my daughter's high school education at this nation school and since you mentioned community college, I wanted to tell you that my daughter is studying at community college now she got accepted easily. which college did she get accepted to ?
Congratulations!
Information about online diplomas can be obtained from major online educational institutions. Examples are the University of Phoenix, Walden University, and Ashwood University for college level programs. Secondary diplomas are offered by Sanford High School and Nation High School. Many local school systems also offer online high school instruction, so a person interested in this should check with the local school system.
If you mean Texas Tech, you need to contact them and ask which, if any, online high school diplomas are acceptable. There are many of them that are not generally accepted by any school or employer.
Answer 1: The diplomas from the Penn Ford alleged "high school" are not worth the paper on which they're printed! Penn Ford is fake... a diploma mill! AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE! Also, do not confuse Penn Ford with the similar-sounding and completely legitimate "Penn Foster High School."Down in the "related questions" section, I have placed a link to a Wiki Answer in which I am the second answerer, and in which I explain exactly what is the problem with the good-for-nothing Penn Ford High School. Be sure to read it!
K12 online school diplomas are only valid when they come from an accredited home school program.
This is how I dealt with this question I was looking for an online program for my son he dropped high school and I had to work very hard with him to save him and he agreed that he will study at home. I didn't want to waste my money so I researched on my own. Educational community considers accredited schools to be legitimate and nation high school had accreditation so I made my son enroll there and finish his high school. I am happy to see he is back on track with a steady job now.
There are many websites, such as pennfoster.com and thelincolnhighschool.com that offer accredited high school diplomas. These diplomas can be earned by doing course work online rather than in person at a school.
I can say that at least my local community college accepts nation high school diploma. I paid my daughter to finish her high school she opted for nation high school. She is now taking classes at local community college. I was worried about paying for an online school so I asked around and found that high school diplomas from accredited schools get accepted by colleges and employers. This nation high school is accredited so that's how my daughter got into community college. It is not much but I hope she continues to better herself.
Belford high school offers high school diploma based on prior learning and work experience if you are looking for that then it is legitimate.
