High School Diploma
A student can earn credit and receive a high school diploma through Bakersfield Adult School. Among students we serve are those 18 years and older who have dropped out of school or graduated from a high school in another country and are now seeking a high school diploma in English from a U.S. high school.
Fees
Diploma classes are provided free of charge to all students enrolled.
Transcripts
When you come to assess and enroll, it is essential to provide official transcripts from your last high school to determine which credits you still need to complete. Failure to provide transcripts at the time of enrollment can result in delays to your enrollment or graduation, or even duplication of classes.
KHSD students:
Last attended 2012 or earlier: Request transcripts via: Parchment
Last attended 2013 or later: Transcripts are available through the Counseling Office.
Out-of-District Students:
Contact the last high school you attended to request transcripts. Procedures vary by district, and not all schools use Parchment.
