Join us for an in-depth discussion of this crucial student situation. 

The discussion begins with a review of institutional responsibilities for checking the validity of a student's claim to have a valid high school diploma. We will examine the equivalents to a high school diploma, as well as alternatives that are acceptable in light of the statutory change eliminating the ability-to-benefit options.

Webinar goals

  • Identify and explain each of the equivalents and alternatives to a high school diploma
  • Document that a student has the equivalent of a high school diploma or satisfies the alternative to a high school diploma
  • Explain when the school must evaluate the validity of a student's high school diploma, and
  • Establish a student's Title IV eligibility when the student does not have a high school diploma or its equivalent
