GED Preparation

GED logo

You want to get your GED? Great idea! This is your road to college and job training. Did you know that - with very limited exceptions - to be eligible for federal financial aid, you must have a GED or high school diploma?

We can help you prepare so you can pass the GED tests and earn your GED by providing study courses and guidance.

All GED tests are scheduled through GED.com and taken on computer in a test center or through an online proctor. Our instructors can help you prepare for the tests and reach your GED goals!

Tuition Waivers and Scholarships

Course Cost: $27 Transportation Fee

If you are enrolled in courses at the Main Campus or the Mary Spilde Downtown Center, you will be charged the current LCC transportation fee of $27. This will allow you to obtain a LTD Bus Pass for no additional charge. If you are enrolled in courses at any other LCC ABSE/GED site, there is no fee, however you are not eligible for the bus pass through Lane Community College. 

ABSE/GED classes are non-credit, and offered at low-cost or no cost to students. Students enrolled only in ABSE classes do not qualify for financial aid.

We have limited scholarships available to students who could not otherwise afford to take the GED exams.

Transitioning to Credit Courses

Students may be eligible for a 6-credit tuition waiver, upon completion of either the GED or the CollegeReady courses. Contact the ABSE office for more information.

We have a support program for high school-aged students. This program is for you if:

  • You are 16 – 17 years old
