These programs allow these students to earn diplomas after earning necessary credits and passing proficiency exams. AHSP programs encourage and prepare students to earn the Nevada Certificate of High School Equivalency. High School Equivalency (HSE) testing allows adults to earn the equivalent of a high school diploma.

A student may have only one Adult Ed record for each calendar year.
