Better instruction than many four-year universities, in my opinion, and I know for a fact that you need neither a diploma nor a GED to enroll (they will make you take placement tests however).

It is my understanding that most, if not all, CCs do not require HS diplomas or GEDs. My local CC dos not require it.

HCC....I know people that go there. I would agree that for a community college it is top notch. Some of those I know in attendance commute from various parts of Maryland (outside of HoCo).
You are correct, though. You can be admitted into a community college without a HS diploma or GED. You will need to take placement tests, though, and if you do well enough on them you are in. The only catch is that your first 24 credits go towards obtaining a GED. Yup. Once you earn your GED you are then able to matriculate into the cc as a regular student, which means you can no work towards an A.A./A.S. degree.
This does not work for International students, so the OP will need a HS diploma, transcript from secondary education, or the equivalent. Also, International students need to take the TOEFL unless they come from an English speaking country.

This college is not accredited through one of the 6 regional accreditation agencies in the US which is how they can do this. A high school diploma or GED is a requirement by all regional accreditation agencies before a degree is given. I'm sure there are some colleges that have their own accreditation or national accreditation that will confer a degree without a high school diploma or GED but not a regional accredited college.
