Common Hesitations

You might be thinking…

Here are some concerns we hear from time to time along with some helpful information!

I’m not sure I have time for this

Most of our students work, have families, or commitments that require their time. Our program is created to be flexible so you can complete coursework 24/7, whenever you can make time for school.

I previously struggled in school so I don’t think I can do this

We’ve learned education is not “one size fits all.” Even if your local school district offers a strong traditional classroom setting, some students need a different learning experience, such as a self-paced online program. Plus, we’ll assign you a personal academic advisor whom you can text message, call, or meet with when you have questions. They’ll even reach out to you to check in and walk with you all the way to program completion when you receive your diploma!

I don’t have a stable enough environment to do schoolwork

You’re not alone! The good news is that our program is 100% online with no attendance or seat time requirements. You can complete school work from any location, such as a library, anywhere with internet access, or one of our HUB locations.

The application looks long and requires me to upload some documents I don’t have

Don’t worry, we will guide you through the enrollment process! You can skip over any document uploads and we can take care of those later.

It will take too long to graduate

We understand this feeling. The good news is we have some tools to help you move along quickly, such as: applying your previously earned school district credit, enrolling in our work-study program to gain elective credit for working at your job, and proficiency exams to give you credit for information you already know! Plus, our program is self-paced so there’s no waiting on others, it’s up to you!

I think getting a GED would be easier… isn’t it the same thing as a high school diploma?

The short answer is no, a GED and a high school diploma are not the same. While getting a GED may seem easier, it can limit future opportunities like pursuing a college degree or a better job. For more information about these differences, please check out our blog.
