A high school equivalency diploma is a credential awarded through an applicable program or process that recognizes academic knowledge equivalent to a high school education. Depending on the credential and its acceptance, it may help individuals pursue further education, career training, and employment opportunities.

A traditional high school diploma is generally earned by completing the required courses and graduation requirements of a high school. A high school equivalency credential is earned through an alternative pathway by successfully passing subject-area exams that demonstrate high school-level academic knowledge, rather than completing individual courses. The credential awarded and its acceptance depend on the applicable program and the requirements of the receiving institution or organization.
