The official admission policy is posted at the Department of Technical and Adult Education web site. Go to http://www.dtae.org/dtaepolicy/menu.html . Paragraph (b-1) under (5) Student Affairs is the policy which applies to home study graduates with nonaccredited diplomas. Print this information so that you can take it with you when you apply for admission, or to have as a reference when you are speaking to someone on the phone.

If the admissions officer tells you that you must have an accredited transcript or a GED show the policy that you have printed from their web site and tell the person that you would like to be admitted using an alternative path. Then ask what kind of documentation of home study activities they would like. If the admissions department is still insisting on an accredited diploma or a GED, please call our office (770) 461-3657 and also call Barb Wilburn at (404) 982-3482 at the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education and report the incident.

The Association will serve and assist any home schooling family or support group in Georgia, however, GHEA is a Christian organization and the counsel and direction of the organization will be Christian.
