Re: HiSET requirements letter

This is something that our Learning Center gathers before the student is allowed to test.  I am going to defer to Mrs. Melinda Lynnes as she would have the particulars.

Subject: [MACRAO] HiSET requirements letter

 

Hello all,

I forgot to ask this last week: OPI requires a unique letter from colleges if a 16 year old applicant wishes to take the HiSET. Each time I get the request from a counselor, it’s different. Sometimes it’s a request for the students name to be used, sometimes it’s for a wet signature, sometimes they require it scanned AND mailed. Do you have a template you’d share? Or guidelines you’ve been given by OPI? It seems like the requirements for the letter change each year, and I’ll be honest- I don’t understand the letter’s purpose since the BOR language specifies the admission requirements for MUS schools, and we’re not guaranteeing the applicant admission upon completion of the HiSET.

§  Include a letter on official letterhead stationery from an employer or continuing education training program indicating that acceptance of the candidate is based upon successful completion of the HSE test.

 

Thank you,
