The
Human Success Project allows adults, who, for whatever reason, were unable
to finish their high school education, to earn their high school diplomas
rather than a general education degree (GED) certificate. The Human Success
Project is administered through the Counseling Center.
The
Human Success Project is designed for adults, 18 years or older, who have
completed at least three years of high school credits. Participants take
courses at the College that will transfer back to the high school to satisfy
high school graduation credits. The high school evaluates the credits
earned through the Human Success Project before it awards the high school
diploma. Contact the Counseling Center for more information at 708-596-2000,
ext. 2306.

If
you are seeking a high school diploma from your high school through South
Suburban College's Human Success Program, please follow these steps:
- Make
an appointment to see a counselor or school official from your high
school. The counselor or school official will discuss the appropriateness
of the program and the feasibility of your successful completion.
If the high school counselor or school official approves this Human
Success Program for you, a Human
Success Application will be completed by the high school personnel.
The high school counselor must list the classes and credits you need
to complete your high school diploma and must sign the form verifying
approval. Once the SSC counselor has identified the equivalent
courses, a copy of this form will be forwarded to the high school
counselor and the student.
- Come to the Student Help
Center at South Suburban College to submit a South Suburban
College Application (not the Human Success Application) and register
for and take the Placement Test.
- Make
an appointment with one of the Human Success Counselors at SSC by
calling 708-596-2000 ext. 2306. Bring the completed Human Success
Application with you so that you may discuss the equivalent college
courses you will need to and a starting date. If developmental courses
are required, you will need to take them first. The Human Success
Counselor will also help you schedule your classes.
- South
Suburban College supports your efforts to complete your high school
diploma by offering a waiver for free tuition for one college course
after you have been accepted into the Human Success Program. The waiver
is for tuition only and you are still responsible for all fees and
books for the class. Download the Human
Success Tuition Waiver form and bring it with you to your counselor
appointment after you complete your placement test.
- Remember,
it is your responsibility to attend all registered classes and to
study the assigned material. If you are having any problems during
the semester, you are always welcome to see the Human Success Counselor
by appointment for guidance.
- SSC
is NOT a high school; we will not be checking on your attendance.
It is your responsibility to attend and confirm to the requirements
of each of your classes.
- When
your classes are completed you must notify the Human Success Counselor
and schedule an appointment for a final check. It is then your responsibility
to request an official transcript from South Suburban College be forwarded
to your high school. Upon final acceptance by the high school you
must then notify the Human Success Counselor to close out your file.
