• HSD TRANSLATION POLICY

  The student must make sure that his/her High School Diploma is translated to English if in another language. The Georgia state board will not accept High School Diplomas in any other language. The following policies must be recognized by the student and the school: • The school reserves the right to deny any student’s HSD if deemed invalid and/or illegitimate. • HSDs are to be translated before the student is able to start his/her program of study. • If the HSD is not translated, the school will provide a list of translators that are approved by the GA State Board. • Any student providing a HSD received at an online institution is at risk of the HSD being rejected by the school in the event the school is not Department of Education (DOE) approved. • If a student’s HSD looks questionable, the school will take the following actions to verify validity: o Search for the school’s DOE code. o Search and thoroughly review the school’s website and assess for validity. o Online HSDs are subject to extensive investigation, as they are more likely to be illegitimate. o If a HSD cannot be verified, the student must obtain a GED prior to enrolling into the school.
