Can you Enrol at an Online College With a GED?

Whether or not you can enrol at an online college with a GED is going to depend on the school. Most require that you have a high school diploma in order to be able to enrol, whether a GED is acceptable or not is going to depend on the school. This is something that you are going to have to check. To be sure however there are some schools that will accept a GED.

In general schools that offer both online classes and regular classes will have the same admission requirements for both. Therefore if GED is not acceptable for regular classes it won't be for online classes either. Most online only schools follow similar admission guidelines.

There are however some online schools that offer open admission. This means that they will allow anybody who wants to to register. The logic here is that if you can successfully complete the course it really shouldn't matter whether you have a high school diploma. The big thing to consider here of course is whether or not you really can complete the course successfully.

If you don't want to enrol at one of the open admission online colleges it may well still be possible to get into one that requires a high school diploma even if all you have is GED. In most cases schools allow for admission as a mature student. Normally you qualify if you are over the age of 21, in this case no high school diploma is normally required.

The only way to determine whether or not you will be able to get into a particular online school is to go to their website and look at their admission requirements. If you meet them there is a pretty good chance that you will be accepted as one of the great benefits that online colleges have over regular colleges is that they don't have to limit the number of students they accept as they don't have space limitations.
