Who can get Nebraska equivalency diploma

If you did not finish high school, you can apply for a Nebraska equivalency diploma. You must have lived in Nebraska for at least 30 days before you apply, or your last credit-earning high school attendance was in a Nebraska high school. You must show you have the skills of a typical graduate by approved tests or other criteria set by the Commissioner of Education. You must be at least 18 and unable to get a diploma from the last high school you attended. This diploma has the same standing and privileges as a regular high school diploma.
