High School and GED/High School Equivalency Graduates

Graduates from an accredited high school or who have obtained a GED/Certificate of High School Equivalency are eligible to enroll at Galveston College.  Students must meet all general admission requirements.

Galveston College considers the following agencies when determining high school accreditation:

  • Texas Education Agency
  • Texas Private School Accreditation Commission
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (AdvancEd/Cognia)

For high schools located in a state other than Texas, Galveston College determines accreditation based on comparable agencies for that state.

Graduates from non-accredited high schools may not be eligible for federal financial aid. Please visit the Non-High School/GED page for more information.
