DIPLOMA
3 WAYS TO EARN YOUR DIPLOMA
1. WALLINGFORD ADULT HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT DIPLOMA
This program offers adults the opportunity to earn a high school diploma. Participants
may earn credits through a combination of afternoon courses, documented work or
training experience. Credits may be transferred from public or private high schools
and state technical high schools. To receive this “traditional” diploma, you must earn
20 credits, including those you may have earned at your former high school. The
Wallingford Adult High School Credit Diploma Program offers small classes and online
courses. When all credits are completed, of which four must be in English, three in
mathematics, two in science, three in social studies (including U.S. history and civics),
and one in Vocational Education Arts, a diploma will be awarded. (CDP is open to all
people who are at least 17 years or older, do not hold a high school diploma, and are
no longer officially enrolled in high school). For more information about this diploma
option, please call the Adult Education School Counselor at the Learning Center,
Monday through Friday between 3:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
2. NATIONAL EXTERNAL DIPLOMA PROGRAM (NEDP)
Earn a Wallingford Adult High School diploma independently, through the successful
completion of a series of assignments in a computer based format. Through this
option students earn their high school diploma independently through the successful
demonstration of life skill competencies as well as individualized competency.
You will meet with an assessor periodically to help you reach your goals. NEDP is
recommended for those 21 years of age who have acquired some of the life skill
experiences needed for successful completion of the program.
3. PREPARATION FOR GED® TEST
This program prepares adult learners to pass the four-part, computer-based GED®
exam to earn a State of Connecticut high school diploma. Students receive necessary
instruction in each of four subject areas - science, social studies, math and language

also review the official website, ged.com, where students can access related exam
information and exam registration procedures. To be able to register for the GED®
exam, students must be at least 17 years old and officially withdrawn from school
for six months. Students can begin the GED® registration process online at ged.com
and complete the process in person at Wallingford Adult Education. Individuals with
a documented disability who require accommodations to take the GED® test should
use www.ged.com to apply for test accommodations. You may also contact Sabrina
