How to Enroll in GED Classes:

Attending a GED® Orientation is the first step in taking GED classes at Edmonds Community College.

Orientations are a total of five hours and are held over two days or evenings.  Students must attend both days of orientation; sign up early as classes fill quickly.

During the orientation, students receive the following information:

• An overview of the GED program at Edmonds Community College
• What to expect on the GED test itself
• What the connection is between wages and education
• Financial and academic support available while you work toward your GED
• Goal setting support
• An introduction to college resources
• Edmonds Community College career/educational opportunities available for GED completers

Students also take reading and math assessments at the orientations for class placement.

Following the orientation, students meet one-on-one with an adviser to register for classes.
