| transfer_credit | High School Equivalency An applicant may be considered for admission based on adequate scores on a valid high school completion credential, such as the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC). Students seeking dual-enrollment during their senior year of high school should consult the Office of Admission and Student Financial Services . In some situations, students who attend college full-time before completing high school are not eligible for financial aid.
