High School Completion

Adult High School Completion Program Everett Community College offers a High School Completion Program for students wishing to finish their diploma requirements. Most students within our traditional High School Completion (HSC) program are 19 years of age and older. This program evaluates previous high school transcripts and works with the students to take the classes needed to fill in the subject gaps from high school. Our High School 21+ (HS21+) program is designed for students 21 years of age and older. Just as our HSC program does, EvCC will evaluate previous high school transcripts and work with the student to fill in the subject gaps. Within HS21+, in addition to taking classes to fulfil subject gaps, a student can also show competency for subject matter in a variety of ways. To get started, a student should request their official transcripts from their previous high school, submit them to Everett Community College, and attend a Transitional Studies Orientation. In addition to the Student Core Learning Outcomes, the Program Specific Outcomes include: • Students taking High School Completion classes will successfully complete their course requirements in order to complete their diploma. • Increased access to High School Completion advising for international students.
