High School Equivalency

The High School Equivalency (HSE) Diploma Program is designed to help the adult earn the equivalent of a high school diploma. The student studies subjects in the five areas of writing, reading, mathematics, social studies and science in preparation for testing. There is no charge to enroll in the HSE Diploma program. Orientation class is required prior to enrollment. RichmondCC provides testing for two of the HSE tests: the GED and HiSet.

The GED Test is available on the Hamlet Campus and is provided as a computer-based exam. The cost of GED and HiSET testing fees is ultimately the students’ responsibility; however, RichmondCC will assist with testing fees when funds are available.

Students must register and pay for either exam at www.ged.com or www.HiSET.ets.org. Upon successful completion of a HSE test, the student will receive a High School Equivalency Diploma from North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges. A graduation ceremony is held twice annually for the Adult High School and HSE Diploma graduates.

Requirements to enter the HSE Program:

  • Attend and complete an assessment/orientation session. Learn more
