hs graduate to enroll at TESC?

[publius2k4]

Ok all, I am a bit confused. Please help me sort this out and advise. My dual enrolled high school/homeschool Sophomore is ready to enroll into TESC before July 1st. She currently has 26 credit hours. She will work on 9 this summer, while also knocking out ALEKS math start to finish, sans Calc.. She is scheduled to dual enroll Macro econ, Psychology, Stats, Physics, Medieval History, and 2 upper level Literature courses next school year. We are back peddling to try to pick up as many pre req classes a future University might want to see on the transcript before she finishes up the 2 UL English courses next May. She was wanting to obtain an AA to lock in core classes just in case she doesn't finish the Bachelors in English before her senior year. She actually wants to go into nursing, and the school she wants to attend has about a 2 year waitlist. Those that have obtained a bachelors get moved up to the front of the waitlist, so that was the initial plan. She will have 5 UL English courses by the end of Senior year, then can do a Capstone in the Summer, that is how we picked the English Bachelor's.

The problem is, after speaking with TESC several times, they are requiring her to be a high school graduate or go get her GED. I won't allow her to do that, because here in our State, many of her classes get paid with PSEO $$ for students still in high school. I know she will have to compose a letter for early admittance, but having to graduate before you enroll just doesn't sound right. What am I missing? I don't think the Credit Banking at TESC will help us, do you? Looking for all suggestions.

This is interesting. I applied to each of the Big 3, and since I had credits to transfer in, none of them required proof of high school completion. How old is your daughter? Perhaps one idea would be to just apply and see if they ask you about it. If they don't mention it, I wouldn't either....
