Admissions Without HS Transcripts - Do They Exist?

[berlinerd]

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody who shared their experience and thoughts.

I'll share my own experience later when I get some answers. SNHU seems to accept my affidavit, but now the question is their GenEd mapping - if they won't accept much of Sophia for GenEds then I am not going to proceed.

I'll try to talk UMPI into accepting me without HS with lots of credit transfer... we'll see!

That's correct, I would recommend applying to the ones you're interested in, be it SNHU or the others such as Excelsior, TESU, UMPI, etc.  You may want to be on the safe side and review their requirements on their respective websites though...

UMPI requires high school transcripts unless you already have a degree. So if one has a Pierpont associate degree PRIOR to applying to UMPI, you're waived. I imagine that Pierpont wants those high school transcripts though.

If a student is in their mid to late 20s and is getting a BOG degree via substantial transfer credit, then Pierpont doesn't care about the HS transcript. That requirement is waived.

As of 2024, Pierpont's decision letter states, "If you have attended college after graduating from high school, then you are not required to submit official high school transcripts." This is actually nice since many high schools are still not on a digital platform like Parchment for transcripts.

Neither Pierpont nor TESU asked for mine.  When I briefly considered TAMU-Commerce, I thought of taking Texas Government at Houston Community College, where I attended in the early 90s.  They wanted my high school transcript.
