If you are a veterans of World
War II and unfortunately did not
graduate from high school, it is
possible now to take an examina
tion which, if passed, will obtain
the high school diploma. This is
true especially where a veteran
needs only one or two subjects.
While in service you may have had
training for which you wish to
secure credit in meeting require
ments for high school graduation.
This demand of the armed forces
personnel for academic credit for
educational achievements as well
as military training and experi
ences prompts the new system of
accreditation.
It has been suggested that a
credit of one unit be allowed to
any student who needs such credit,
for a year’s service in the armed
forces. This unit of credit for gen
eral military experience may be
counted as a unit in social studies.
If he has two or more years of ser
vice he may be allowed not to ex
ceed two units in meeting the re
quirement of 16 units for gradu
ation.
If a student cannot meet re
quirements for graduation from
high school on basis outlined above
he or she may attend a regular
high school or instiution where
refresher courses are offered.
The State Department of Public
Instruction and the North Carolina
College Conference have adopted
a plan for admission of these and
other veterans to college by ex
amination. This examination will
be given at colleges. This test
ing program will include a psy
chological test, an English test, a
mathematics test and a reading
test. A diploma granted in this
manner will be accorded equal
status with the diploma granted
in the usual way.
This information was received
by Jack C. Winchester, N. C. Vet
erans Commission, Morgan ton, N.
C., where you may obtain more
detailed information. You may
also contact the principal of your
high school or superintendent or
schools for information on taking
tests and other advice to veterans
on completion of high school edu
cation.
