I think it depends on the institution. I know in Fresno, CA you can take
classes at the Community without a high school diploma, but need a GED for
an AA degree.

I am trying to give a program some guidelines on which potential GED
learners really need the GED certificate.

For example, if a student has his high school diploma from a foreign
country, he does not need a GED to enter college in the US; if an engineer
from a foreign country wants a license here, he does not need a GED--he
needs to take the licensing exam in English, and perhaps to fulfill some
other requirements.

However, if a learner does not have a high school diploma from any country,
he needs GED to go to college, for employment, etc.

Is there any summary of helpful information, to assist programs in
determining if a learner needs the GED certificate, to meet his goals?
