Adults without a high school diploma can acquire high school diploma equivalency by taking and passing the General Educational Development (GED) tests. CCAC provides an opportunity for students to prepare for and take the GED Tests.

The GED Tests measure your knowledge and academic skills against those of today’s traditional high school graduates.

According to The College Board, GED certification is accepted at 95 percent of United States colleges and universities where other admission requirements are satisfied. Most employers consider the GED as equal to a high school diploma.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

GED Tests are administered in paper-pencil format ONLY. No legitimate GED Test is offered via the internet.
