U.S. Department of Education considers a degree as a high school equivalency

[ArshveerCheema]

It sounds like you've encountered frustration in navigating the education system due to differing interpretations of equivalency standards. While some schools may not recognize an associate's degree as an equivalent to a high school diploma, the U.S. Department of Education clearly outlines that completion of at least 60 credit hours towards a bachelor's degree qualifies as such.

Given this, it's understandable to feel disheartened by schools not adhering to this policy. However, it's essential to advocate for yourself and your education by providing them with the relevant information and seeking clarification on their specific requirements. Additionally, being aware of alternative pathways, such as those available in your province of Ontario, can help you explore other options and find a solution that works best for you.

Thanks for the input. I'm okay, I explained that I have lots of options in the US and also that once I'm done my career school diploma, that would be considered an equivalency in Ontario. Additionally, in Canada, you can apply as a mature student which means that once you're atleast the age of 19, a high school diploma isn't even required
