General Education Development (GED)

GED Illinois Online

GED Illinois Online is a free online GED preparation program open to Illinois residents who reside in Community College District #514 and who are enrolled in our Adult Education Program.

** PLEASE NOTE **
Illinois residents who do not live in our community college district can find a GED Illinois Online program in their area by entering their zip code on the Adult Education & Family Literacy Provider website.

GED Illinois Online instruction offers a self-paced GED preparation program that can be used at any time from a computer with Internet access. Pre-surveys and post-tests are included in the program to focus GED preparation and to assess GED Test readiness.

Online study is not for everyone, however. Specific eligibility requirements have been established to ensure your success in GED Illinois Online.

These include:

• A computer with Internet access
• Ninth grade reading and math level as determined by the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE)
• Mandatory in-person attendance at an orientation session and four in-person appointments scheduled with the online instructor *
• A current resident of Illinois Central Community College District #514
• Active enrollment in our Adult Education Program

Students who meet these requirements will be assigned an instructor who will review their assignments, communicate instructions, and provide support and feedback as they progress through the online program.

* Please note that while most instruction is delivered online, students are required to meet in person with their online instructor in order to remain in the program.
