Is it possible to be too far behind to enroll in a Transfer School, YABC, or GED program?
Schools and programs have different requirements, but a variety of programs exist to meet the needs of students at different ages and levels of credit accumulation. Each Transfer School has its own eligibility requirements: some accept students with no credits, while others set a minimum credit requirement. Contact individual schools directly to find out more. To attend a YABC, you must have accumulated at least 17 credits. There are no minimum credit requirements to attend a GED program, but you must be at least 18 years old. Keep in mind that the Department of Education serves students through the end of the school year in which they turn 21. The school year begins on July 1, so if you turn 21 on July 2 you may attend school through the following June, but if you turn 21 on June 15 you may attend school only for two more weeks. When choosing a school or program, you should consider how many semesters you have left in the DOE system to make sure that you have enough time to complete r
