High School Diploma Options
The Alabama Non-Traditional High School Diploma Option (HSO or HSDO) Program
HSO is a partnership between Alabama Adult Education and the Alabama State Department of Education to provide students with an alternative to the GED high school equivalency.
- It allows adult education students to earn a H.S. Diploma.
- The diploma is issued by the high school or school district that the student last attended.
The program provides two options:
- Option 1 – For an adult who attended an Alabama high school and earned enough credits to graduate, but did not pass the high school graduation exam.
- Option 2 – For an adult who earned 10 or more credits from an Alabama high school and requires additional credits for high school completion.
