Great Falls allows them to enroll for one semester with their current high school transcript and a letter from their guidance counselor confirming that they’re on track to graduate. We slap on a registration hold for their second semester until their final high school transcript comes in. We do the same for high school seniors enrolling for summer classes, since GFPS graduation is typically after our summer term starts.
We also communicate to these students that they won’t be eligible for Financial Aid until after their high school graduation. This means they’ll have to float the cost out of pocket up front until we get a final high school transcript and Financial Aid kicks in. This tidbit of information usually isn’t on their radar and can change their decision of when to start college.

Do you allow students who are graduating from high school in January to begin school even if their actual graduation date is a few weeks after the first day of the semester?
