What forms do I need if I am 16 or 17 years old?
Answer
16- and 17-year-olds have different eligibility requirements that must be met in order to enroll in Adult Education for their GED due to state law.
| For a 16 year old student who wishes to enroll in one of our AE programs: |
Student must present a notarized, Certificate of Exemption from the student’s last school system attended, and a notarized Parental Permission Form;
If the student attended and dropped out of a private school, church school, or private tutor program, the student must present a notarized letter (Parental Permission Form) from his/her parent or legal guardian naming the school, providing the drop-out date, and stating the student has dropped out of school, and has permission to enroll in the Adult Education program. |
| For a 17 year old student who wishes to enroll in one of our AE programs: |
Student must have participated in an exit interview with their high school administration and provide a signed Exit Interview Form (Please Note: The student’s refusal to participate in the scheduled Exit Interview should be documented by the school personnel on the Exit Interview Form. Local AE programs must maintain an Exit Interview Form for all 17 year old public high-school dropouts. These guidelines also apply to HSO students who are 17 years of age.)
