Is it true that community colleges will accept someone without a high school diploma?

Question

Do restrictions apply.
Does it depend on the state you live in.
I heard Florida,Community Colleges will not accept you
without a High School Diploma or GED.

Answer 1

Check with the college you wish to attend. They may require you to get a GED first and also may require you to take an entrance exam or both these things. Just inquire about entrance requirements at the school you are interested in.

Answer 2

I would check with your local community college. I had a girl in a class that I was taking at a CC who didn't have a GED or diploma. I think it all depends on the school.

Answer 3

Check with the admissions office of the community colleges you are considering. Most will have a plan for admitting home-schooled students, though they may have to present evidence that they did not attend high school and may have to take a college placement test. Students who are still attending high school may also qualify to take community college classes.

Go online to the college's website, find the admissions office page, and look at their FAQ. A sample site is listed in the source below.
