DETERMINING THE VALIDITY OF HIGH SCHOOL CREDENTIALS All students must provide evidence that they possess a high school diploma, GED, a home study certificate or transcript from a home-study program that is equivalent to high school level and is recognized by the state of issuance. In the event the validity of the high school diploma is in question, EMTS will use the following methods to determine validity: EMTS Admissions Office will cross check the diploma with a list of diploma mills provided to the school by the United States Department of Education. If the name of the school issuing the diploma appears on this list the high school diploma will not be considered valid and the applicant will have to attain their GED or a valid high school diploma. If the diploma is not from the United States or Puerto Rico and is not in English, the applicant shall have the diploma translated and notarized to verify the authenticity. If this cannot be done, the applicant will have to attain their GED or a valid high school diploma from the United States. If a student is unable to produce a high-school diploma due to unusual circumstances (e.g. a student is a refugee from a war-torn country), then the student must complete an Attestation Letter stating the name of the High School, City, State and the year of graduation. The Attestation Letter must be signed, dated and notarized. 3
