Ability-to-Benefit Alternatives
If you were enrolled in college or career school prior to July 1, 2012, or if you are currently enrolled in an eligible career pathway program*, you may show you’re qualified to obtain a higher education by
- passing an approved ability-to-benefit test* (if you don’t have a diploma or GED, a college can administer a test to determine whether you can benefit from the education offered at that school) or
- completing six credit hours or equivalent course work toward a degree or certificate (you may not receive aid while earning the six credit hours).
