No Diploma? 
No Problem.
You Can Go To College

A student is potentially ATB-eligible if they: have no high school diploma or GED, are 18 or older, are a US citizen or eligible non-citizen, and are enrolled (or willing to enroll) at a partner adult school while attending college.

Students need a completed Student Education Plan (SEP), a signed Adult School Dual Enrollment Form, and proof of enrollment at a partner adult school. Financial aid will need a FAFSA on file.

Students must be enrolled in an Eligible Career Pathway Program approved under the ATB plan. Counselors should confirm that the student's chosen program qualifies. Contact your college's ATB coordinator if unsure.

ATB students can receive Title IV financial aid. Ensure FAFSA is submitted, the student understands SAP requirements, and direct deposit is set up. Visit peralta.edu/financial-aid/faq for full guidance.

The dual enrollment form must be reviewed and co-signed by the adult school counselor. Maintain communication with adult school partners to verify continued enrollment and progress toward a diploma.

ATB students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress to keep their financial aid. Monitor their progress each semester and flag early warning signs. Connect struggling students with tutoring and basic needs services promptly.

Build relationships with counselors at each partner adult school. They are the first point of contact for students and can help verify ATB eligibility and co-sign the dual enrollment form.
