Adult Education Registration Form
Applicants must also complete a screening interview with the Coordinator of Adult Education. These interviews are held each Wednesdays on an appointment basis after completing orientation. Applicants must present an official copy of their high school transcript (in sealed envelope) to the Coordinator. If the applicant is a minor, a parent or guardian must be present for the interview.
Tuition is free. However, the first sitting for the official GED exam costs $7.50 (NC state administration fee) which covers testing for a five year period. If at the end of five years the student has not passed all sections of the GED test, the entire testing process would need to be repeated.
