Proably not, unless your High School is really on the tech ball. Have you tried calling your high school to see how to get past records. They would have to have on record your diploma status.

Am I correct in understanding that you dropped out of school and did not receive a diploma?

If that is the case, you can contact your local school system to take a test and get your GED.

Emland means your high school would have a record of how far you got and what courses you finished and what you have left to do. Check with the community college in your area. Once they know your situation, they might be willing to allow you to complete courses with them online, courses that will satisfy requirements for the h.s. Diploma.

Some community colleges do GED online. In my area it is called Regents Online Degree Program. You can do GED and get accredited degrees.
