Adult Education and Literacy
and GED Preparation


Classes to brush up on basic skills as well as GED test preparation are offered by St. Charles Community College in cooperation with school districts and agencies throughout St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren, and Pike counties.

Free day and evening classes are available.  Students are assessed and individual learning plans are created to meet each individual's unique needs. 

Students work at their own pace in small groups or individually with material suited to their specific abilities. Courses prepare students to take the General Education Development (GED) exam. 

Registration is continuous and pre-registration is not required. Students may enroll at any time. Orientation for new students is conducted during the first half-hour of each class. Students must attend a minimum of 12 hours for initial assessment and evaluation. 

Students who attend the college's AEL/GED program and successfully complete the GED exam  with a score of 270 or higher are eligible for scholarships to attend SCC.  All GED recipients who attended the college's AEL/GED program are invited to attend the "GED Graduate Recognition Ceremony" held on campus each June.  The 2002 ceremony will be held on June 26, 2002, at 7 p.m. in the Donald D. Shook Fine Arts Building at St. Charles Community College.

See AEL/GED Classes menu or GED Testing menu for dates and locations, or call St. Charles Community College at 636-922-8598 for more information.
