I am currently an Admissions Advisor at Kaplan university and I deal with students everyday that has diplomas from online high schools. As long as your diploma is Accredited you are fine. But you do have to make sure the College that you are looking to go to is Accredited as well. If you have more questions you can email me at [e-mail]. I love helping people and I am here to help anybody that is looking to futher their education. Also I can help you with any financial aid questions you have also.

Good Luck!!

I hope this was helpful!!!

I'm pretty sure if you diploma came from an accredited high school in any state, its good. It would be the same thing if a student went to school in Florida and then moved to Maine and applied to school there. Of course, the diploma might not be accredited by the state, but by a for profit organization, in which case it might be worthless. If that is the case, take the G.E.D. But hopefully its real and you're all set. Best wishes.
