Admissions
During the admissions process, all students are tested in Reading comprehension, Math skills and Language skills utilizing the TABE (Test in Basic Adult Education). The results of these tests determine the eligibility of the student to enter his or her desired program. A high school diploma or equivalent is required for college preparation and vocational programs. In some cases, applicants are not ready for the requirements of their chosen program. In order to allow the student an opportunity to meet the requirements, the SUNY Bronx EOC offers several programs to prepare him/her for the chosen program.
Online - High School Equivalency (HSE)

The High School Equivalency program provides academic instruction and test preparation in order to assist students to achieve their NYS high school equivalency diploma. Teacher led instruction is provided in the areas of Writing and Grammar, Math and Reading in the content areas leading to the official NYSED GED® (General Educational Development) or High School Equivalency exam. As of January 1, 2022, NYSED replace the TASC™(Test in Assessing Secondary Completion) Additionally, students are assigned time in the ATTAIN computer lab where they remediate their weak areas and work on test preparation through computer aided instruction.
