Important – Please Read

Although each state’s Department of Education recognizes our accreditation, the SUNY website states “Correspondence study and online diplomas are not valid for students who were New York State residents at the time they received the online diploma.  New York State school districts are prohibited from recognizing correspondence or online programs of high school study as fulfilling the New York State requirements for completion of an approved course of high school study.” If you are a New York resident and interested in completing your high school diploma through Excel’s online program, please contact us about potential options by giving us a call at 1-800-620-3844.
