Ready to enroll in culinary school? It\u2019s an exciting move that could have a big impact on your career.<\/p>\n
At Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, our application process<\/a> is straightforward and convenient. And if you collect the necessary forms ahead of time, this process can be even easier.<\/p>\n One of the forms you\u2019ll need in order to enroll at Escoffier is proof of high school graduation or equivalent. What is proof of graduation, and how can you get it? Let\u2019s take a closer look at the six types of proof that are accepted, and how you can obtain yours. Proof of graduation is any form of official documentation that demonstrates that you\u2019ve graduated from high school (or some equivalent).<\/p>\n To complete your enrollment and start classes at Escoffier, you must submit proof of high school graduation or equivalent<\/strong>, along with other required materials. If you already submitted your application but did not yet provide your proof of graduation, reach out to your Escoffier Admissions Advisor<\/a> for assistance.<\/p>\n Escoffier recognizes the following forms of proof of high school graduation or equivalent:<\/p>\n BOULDER:<\/p>\n Proof of High School Graduation or Equivalent must be obtained through one of the following examples:<\/p>\n *Homeschool documentation as required by local and or state agencies, not limited to the following: notification to the required agency, academic transcripts, and proof of graduation.<\/em><\/p>\n AUSTIN:<\/p>\n Proof of High School Completion or Equivalent<\/p>\n *Degree must be in a program that fully matriculates into a bachelor’s level program<\/em><\/p>\n If you graduated from high school, there are three primary options for obtaining proof of your graduation.<\/p>\n Option 1: Check your high school’s website<\/strong><\/p>\n Look for pages with titles such as \u201cStudent Services,\u201d \u201cAlumni,\u201d or \u201cTranscripts.\u201d These pages often explain how to request your transcript online or provide contact details for someone who can help.<\/p>\n Option 2: Call the school\u2019s main office<\/strong><\/p>\n If you can\u2019t find the information you need online, call the school and let them know that you\u2019re trying to get a copy of your high school transcript. They should be able to connect you with the registrar or records department.<\/p>\n Option 3: Use a third-party service<\/strong><\/p>\n If your school is closed or unresponsive, you could try third-party services like:<\/p>\n In many cases, getting your proof of high school graduation can be as simple as reaching out to your school. But what do you do if the school you attended has closed? Don\u2019t worry\u2014there are still options available to you.<\/p>\n If you attended a public high school<\/strong><\/p>\n If you attended a public high school, then the school district office should still have student records for all schools in that district and can usually send an official transcript on your behalf.<\/p>\n Contact the district office for the school district your high school belonged to. To find it, you can search online: \u201cschool district [name of your high school] [state]<\/em>.\u201d If you aren\u2019t able to find it that way, you can also find your school district on the National Center for Education Statistics website<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t find your school district, or if the district no longer exists, then you can reach out to your state’s Department of Education<\/a> for your transcript instead.<\/p>\n If you went to a private high school<\/strong><\/p>\n If you went to a private school, you can search for your records or contact information on the National Center for Education Statistics page for private schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n If those options don\u2019t work<\/strong><\/p>\n Regardless of whether you went to public or private school, if you aren\u2019t able to obtain your documentation via the above methods you can try third-party services like:<\/p>\n If you took a high school equivalency exam like the GED, HSED, HiSet, or TASC, you can use your results as proof of graduation when applying to Escoffier. Here\u2019s how you can get your hands on the documentation you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n If you earned a GED, follow these steps to obtain your transcript.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Log in to your GED account at GED.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 2<\/strong>: Navigate to \u201cMy Scores\u201d to view your scores.<\/p>\n Step 3<\/strong>: Select \u201cRequest Transcript.\u201d At this point, you’ll be directed to your state’s designated service provider, such as Parchment or DiplomaSender, to complete your request. If you earned an HSED, follow these steps to obtain your transcript.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Go to DiplomaSender.com<\/a>. This is the official record provider for many states that issue HSEDs.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong> Create an account (or log in, if you already have one).<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> View or request your scores. If your state uses DiplomaSender, you\u2019ll be able to access your HSED scores and send official copies to Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.<\/p>\n Note that each state maintains its own records for high school equivalency tests. If DiplomaSender doesn\u2019t have your records, contact the organization where you took the HSED test for more information.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re still unable to receive your test results, reach out to your state’s Department of Education<\/a> for assistance.<\/p>\n If you passed the HiSET exam, follow these steps to obtain your transcript.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Log in to your HiSET account at HiSET.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong> Navigate to the \u201cScores\u201d section to view your results.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> Request an official transcript using the Parchment service linked within your HiSET account.<\/p>\n As an alternative, you can also visit Parchment’s HiSET page<\/a> for transcript requests (rather than obtaining your transcript through HiSET directly).<\/p>\n If you passed the TASC exam, follow these steps to obtain your transcript.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Visit DiplomaSender.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong> Create an account (or log in, if you already have one).<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> Request your official TASC transcript to be sent to Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.<\/p>\n If DiplomaSender doesn\u2019t have your records, contact the organization where you took the TASC test. If you\u2019re still unable to receive your test results, reach out to your state’s Department of Education<\/a> for assistance.<\/p>\n If you completed an associate or higher degree program from an accredited institution, you can use an official transcript from that institution to satisfy the proof of graduation requirement. Follow these steps to obtain your official transcript.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Search for your college\u2019s registrar or student records office webpage.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong> Look for a section labeled \u201cRequest Transcript\u201d or \u201cTranscript Services.\u201d You\u2019ll likely be directed either to the school\u2019s internal request form, or to a third-party service like Parchment<\/a> or the National Student Clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> Submit your request\u2014this will likely involve:<\/p>\n If you were homeschooled, you\u2019ll need some form of documentation to demonstrate the completion of your education. Escoffier accepts documentation that is considered official by your local and\/or state agencies; requirements vary from state to state, but acceptable forms of documentation may include notification to the required agency, academic transcripts, and proof of graduation.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how you can obtain the homeschool documentation you\u2019ll need to provide with your Escoffier application.<\/p>\n Ask your parent or guardian for a copy of the original Notice of Intent to Homeschool or any official confirmation from your local school district or state.<\/p>\n If they can\u2019t find it, contact the school district where you lived during homeschooling and ask if they have a record of your homeschool registration.<\/p>\n Request a transcript from your parent, homeschool teacher, or program administrator.<\/p>\n Ask your parent or instructor for a homeschool diploma or letter confirming that you completed your high school education.<\/p>\n If they didn\u2019t make one, they can create one now; use a tool like HomeschoolDiploma.com<\/a>, or print one using a free template online.<\/p>\n If you are a U.S. veteran, a DD-214 form may be able to be used to satisfy Escoffier\u2019s enrollment requirement. Escoffier will accept a DD-214 if you cannot obtain your diploma from your school; it must include your high school graduation information, including a graduation date.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how you can obtain your DD Form 214, which could serve as your proof of graduation.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Visit the National Archives website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong> Click \u201cStart Request Online\u201d to access the eVetRecs system.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> Submit your request for your DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty).<\/p>\n Step 4:<\/strong> Choose your preferred delivery method (most requests are mailed).
