High School Diploma Programs: Registration for Fall is Underway!

Don't have a high school diploma? You've got options!
Now you have a choice of two different ways to earn a Maryland High School Diploma at AACC: enroll in the GED® Test Preparation program or complete the National External Diploma Program (NEDP®). AACC offers both programs at NO COST to participants.

How to Get Started

Before registering for either program, you must attend an orientation and assessment session in person. During this session, you will learn about the GED® Test Preparation and NEDP® programs, complete a timed assessment in reading and math, and discuss your educational plan with a member of the intake team.

Book your orientation and assessment now.

If you have questions, email gedprogram@aacc.edu or call 410-777-1823. Provide your name, phone number and email address, and a staff member will respond to you during office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

GED Ready

GED Ready (practice test) is half the length of the actual GED tests and includes questions similar in content, difficulty and format to the actual tests. This is an excellent predictor of how you may perform on the official tests. After completing GED Ready, staff will meet with you to discuss your scores and make recommendations.

Eligibility

To be eligible for GED Ready, students must:

• Be 18 or older
• Officially withdrawn from high school (only if you are 18)
• Attend an Adult Basic Skills/GED orientation and receive qualifying scores (Contact our office to schedule an appointment.)

Supplemental Instruction for the GED

This math class is designed to review math skills needed for the GED test and will provide instruction in number sense and operations, data analysis, algebra, geometry, and test-taking strategies.

Eligibility

To be eligible for Supplemental Instruction for the GED, students must

• Be 18 or older
• Be officially withdrawn from high school (only if you are 18).
• Attend an Adult Basic Skills GED orientation (Contact our office to schedule an appointment.)
• Have achieved a qualifying score on the GED Ready.
