High School Diploma Option Program

Did you miss out on your high school diploma because of the graduation exam or because you did not gain enough credits? The Alabama Nontraditional High School Diploma Option (HSDO) was designed just for you! ACCS works with your local high school to obtain the requirements that you need to earn your high school diploma. Connect with your nearest Adult Education Provider to determine the steps you need to take to get your diploma!

The Nontraditional High School Diploma Option (HSDO) is for residents ages 19 and older. You have two options. Option 1 is for residents who attended an Alabama public high school, earned enough credits to graduate, but did not pass the high school graduation exam. Option 2 is for residents who earned 10 or more credits from an Alabama public high school but need additional graduation credits.

The high school diploma and transcripts are issued by the last Alabama public high school or local school system that you last attended (determined by local board policy). The date you complete the graduation requirements will be the graduation date listed on the high school transcript and diploma.
