Is there such a thing as a "college equivalency"?
89046
No.  There are ways to get some college credit for life experience, but not a complete degree (other than an honorary one).

Without at least a G.E.D. most colleges won't accept you. I suggest contacting your local community college; most have G.E.D. preparedness courses where you can get your equivalency diploma and begin your academic career.  Some states have a "life time knowledge" exemption for seniors, but even then your academic counselor would strongly advise you take the G.E.D. course; if for no other reason than to get you in an "academic frame of mind."

There are four-year colleges that are completely free in the States, I just don't remember which ones.  I know, that's not helpful, but they do exist.

You have to submit your degree to a service that will check your degree to see that it is equivalent to one in the United State. They are called Foreign Credential Services.Start at a site like www.naces.org. Click on current members. That's a good place to start. There are a lot of companies out there and there is a fee. Good Luck!!  It can be done.

I too find this disquieting.  It affects me much the same way that a friend of mine feels when asked on surveys to choose "some college" as she did not obtain a four year degree only her associate's.  "Some college" is not accurate, she obtained a degree even if a limited one, when people speak of having spent "some time" in college it generally means they are a drop out.  This is not the case with my friend.\n\nThankyou for bearing with me in my analogy.\n\nI do believe that Caucasion is an outdated term.  What is more, I believe the fact that we are asked to categorize ourselves at all by these kinds of terms is archaic.  \n\nWe are more evolved than this I think.  I realize the need to maintain a census count but for other purposes it is not necessary.  We need a better way for people to identify themselves than what we currently have.\n\nThank-You for posting this question.  It is one that we must begin to consider in society as well as to begin to take action on.\n\nMay Peace Be With You

if there isn't, there should be. don't you have to just be a college student??

Yes. Since you are in college it would appear that you have already escaped high school.

if your situation is identical to when you first applied, you should get similar aid.  It's federal and state aid, the school you go to is irrelivant to them as long as everything else is the same.

Online, correspondence, and distance learning degrees are gaining some acceptance and respect as programs are proven complete and successful.  One thing to look at before jumping into one of the is the accredation of the company offering the course(s).  In order for the credit that you earn with one of them to be transferable, the place offering the credit MUST be accredited by a national AND regional accrediting body.  I STRONGLY suggest that you locate contact information for the accrediting body in your area and check it with them.  If you simply ask the school that offers the credit for the program you are considering, you will be told something like, "Every institution evaluates credit from another school based upon their own criteria and we can't tell you if our credits will be accepted by them or not."  That is a HUGE RED FLAG!  Do your own research!!

I wonder what is the scope of the term "education" as used by you.\n\nYes to a certain degree education is universal. Both should receive the same. Later on depending on temperament one can choose specific higher education follow-ups.

yes, but usually it is not used at traditional universities. If you are doing program through distance learning universities i.e. devry, univ. of Pheonix, nova southeastern university, etc. You can get credit for personal experience

well the answer is in the question... a copy of a qualificaiton can always be obtained from the awarding body. unless they have changed the qualification in such that if they issued one now it would not be for exactly the qualificaiton you took. you should also be able to get a letter of confirmation from your college advising of what you did when and what that covered...

Yes, for both the Army and Officer training programs like ROTC, OCS, and the Point. The regulations do differ slightly, but they are all pretty much the same.
