Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  Q: Can I enroll in ASA if I didn't graduate from high school or earn a GED? A: Adults who have not yet earned a high school degree or its equivalent may be eligible for the "Ability to Benefit" (ATB) designation. ATB candidates must be at least 19 years of age at the time they apply and provide evidence that they've been out of school for at least one year or that their high school class has graduated. ATB applicants are initially interviewed by an ASA ATB coordinator to ascertain their maturity, self-motivation, and ability to think and express ideas clearly. They then take the Compass Exams, proctored by an independent test administrator, and must achieve a minimum score established by the test publisher and approved by the U.S. Department of Education. To be officially admitted, applicants must undergo additional advisement to confirm a reasonable expectation of successful program completion. Students who receive the Ability to Benefit designation can earn their ASA degree or certificate only if they've successfully obtained their High School Equivalency diploma or GED. ATB students may attend ASA's free GED preparatory course. |
