High School Equivalency (GED and HiSET) and Adult Community Education (ACE)
The Montana GED® and HiSET® are each a battery of tests that measure a student's academic skills as compared to a high school graduate. If passed, a Montana High School Equivalency Diploma is issued which is accepted by institutions of higher education and employers as equivalent to a regular high school diploma.
The Office of Public Instruction has partnered with DiplomaSender to manage High School Equivalency (HSE) credentials and transcripts. DiplomaSender is the sole entity entrusted with providing GED and HiSET transcripts and diploma records for Montana HSE earners.
