Answer 1 :
colleges require you to have your high school diploma or a GED You can check any school's web site for requirements
Answer 2 :
How old are you? Are you under age 21? If so, then you can still do those 3 credits. Talk to your old high school. If you're local, ask them if you can return to complete the 3 credits. If that's not an option, then ask them if you can do that missing class at a community college near you, and have it apply back to your HS record so that you can graduate. If not, then you have two options - you could get your GED, which based on the fact that you passed the proficiency exams, you could probably accomplish in short order; or you could go directly to community college without it. If you'd like to do the GED, most ccs offer GED prep classes which you can take. They take 10 weeks, and cost about $25 for the whole series of classes. Cheap. This will allow you to brush up your old knowledge, then take the GED. Or you can contact the community college and ask if you can be admitted without the GED. Many ccs have a program where they will admit you under something called "ability to benefit". You get there, and you have to take a certain series of courses - 24 credits worth - before you can move on. If you pass all those classes, you can go on to complete your associates - and those 24 credits count towards that. Once you complete your associates, you can either use that degree to get a job (some associates degrees are in high demand - ask the school) or you can transfer to a university to complete your bachelors.
