GOAL GED/HSED/High School Credit

What's the Difference?

GED
You can earn a Certificate of General Educational Development (GED) by participating in an orientation session, taking a career awareness class, and successfully completing the five GED tests. The tests focus on writing, social studies, interpreting literature and the arts (reading) and math. The Certificate of GED can be used to qualify for employment or various technical school programs, but it's not considered a high school equivalency in Wisconsin.

HSED
You can earn the High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) by successfully completing the Certificate of GED requirements, as well as requirements in health, civic literacy and employability skills. The HSED is considered equivalent to a high school diploma in the state of Wisconsin.

High School Credit
If you're a few credits short of completing your high school diploma requirements, this may be the option for you. High school credit classes are available on a supervised independent study basis. To register for High School Credit classes at LTC Sheboygan, the form identifying which classes are needed must be signed by the school principal or designee from your current or former high school.
