High School Equivalency / Adult High School Diploma

High School Equivalency/Adult High School Diploma

The Nevada Department of Education and the American Council on Education have authorized GBC in Elko as an official testing agency for the High School Equivalency (HSE) tests. You may make an appointment to take the test upon payment of the test fee. To schedule a test, call the Academic Success Center at 775.327.2247. If you aren’t sure you’re ready to take the test, the staff in the Adult Learning Center can help you to prepare for the tests.

Satisfactory test results earn you (Nevada residents 18 years old or older or 16 and 17 years old under certain circumstances) the Certificate of High School Equivalency. Satisfactory scores on the HSE tests may also be used to satisfy certain requirements for an Adult High School Diploma. GBC is authorized to issue the Certificate of High School Equivalency; Adult High School Diplomas are issued by the Elko, Humboldt, Lander, and White Pine County School Districts.

If you are not sure which test or which version is right for you, staff at the Adult Learning Center at 775.327.2216 or the Academic Success Center at 775.327.2247 can help you choose the right test. ESL students or English speaking students, who prefer classroom HiSET practice should contact the ABE/ESL office in the Adult Learning Center at 775.327.2216.
