WAC 131-48-140   Effect of certificate of educational competence.  The award by the state board for community and technical colleges and superintendent of public instruction of a certificate of educational competence shall not preclude such persons from returning to high school to obtain a regular high school diploma if changes in the person's personal situation allow completion of a regular high school education program.

     Receipt of a certificate of educational competence also shall not preclude such persons from enrolling in an adult high school completion program at one of the state's community or technical colleges. However, the GED certificate or test scores may not be used as a means of awarding academic credit or as part or all of the requirements for completing the adult high school completion program and receiving the adult high school diploma.
