Who is eligible and how to enroll Enrollment contacts (Updated 7/28/06) Program description Details of ADP design Why does ADP need to be redesigned?     WHO IS ELIGIBLE AND HOW TO ENROLL       The Adult Diploma Program is designed specifically for adults with experience in meeting family and work responsibilities. ADP works best with adults age 21 or older who have been out of school for several years. Persons age 18-20 years of age can enroll with an age waiver from their high school. Students can work at their own pace and at a location convenient to them, tailor assignments to fit with their own experiences and needs, and receive individualized feedback and support from the ADP assessor. To enroll in ADP, an age-eligible adult has to meet with a local ADP assessor. This assessor can explain more about the program, help secure an age waiver if necessary and schedule a time to begin the diagnostic phase. To find the assessor in the adult education and literacy center nearest you, click on a county from the map. Fees There are no fees charged to an adult who enrolls in the Adult Diploma Program.
