Can home schooled teen take Penn Foster College Courses?
#1
Does Penn Foster require a formal high school diploma or GED? Has anyone been required to show them a high school diploma?

I do believe you are required to provide proof of graduation if you enroll in a degree or diploma program.

I took individual courses there. I was not required to provide such proof.

It appears as if a dual enrollment option isn't available. Admissions & How to Enroll | Penn Foster

Use caution, their college courses are NOT regionally accredited.

Thanks for the advice-I am only planning to take one college course there. I heard that TESC & COSC accept "Financial Management", so I tried to register and in the fine print it said I would be required to show a high school diploma before completing the course,so I wanted to know if they are strict about it (or if they accept a home school diploma). Thanks again,

Call this number 800-238-9554 and ask to sign up for an individual course. They won't ask for your high school info unless you enroll in one of their programs.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

Update. Now you are required to sign a course enrollment agreement for an individual course and must certify that you have a high school diploma or GED.
