J-High school certificate of attendance an attendance-based
high school certificate or diploma. Those are sometimes
called certificates of competency or completion, but are
based on course completion rather than a test such as the
GED or the CHSPE. A State or locally issued secondary
school diploma obtained solely on the basis of an attenance
credential is not considered a high school diploma. That is
considered an alternate high school credential.

vidual who is a non-high school graduate or alternate high
school credential holder, attended a college or university.

of adult education, or for high school equivalency prepara-
tion is not applicable. For military enlistment processing pur-
poses, an indiviual with that status is considered a high
school graduate.
