FSCC announces ABE/GED orientation schedule
For those intending to enroll in Fort Scott Community College’s ABE/GED (Adult Basic Education/General Education Development) program next semester, orientation is required, noted Aubrey Duft, program coordinator, who also released the tentative orientation schedule.
Orientation Schedule
- Jan. 9-11
- Jan. 23-25
- Feb. 6-8
- Feb. 20-22
- March 5-7
- March 19-21
- April 2-4
- April 16-18
- April 30-May 2
- May 14-16
- May 28-30
GED classes, Duft said, are geared toward preparation for the GED test, which includes math, science, social studies and reasoning through language arts.
Requirements for Enrollment
- Students ages 16 or older meet the requirements
- For those younger than 18, a compulsory exemption form is required
During orientation, we fill out the required paperwork, take a pre-assessment in reading and math, discuss a general overview of classes and the GED test, and discuss short- and long-term goals,” Duft said.
A material fee of $35 is due the week of orientation. GED-testing fees are paid separately at the time of registration for the exam. Students need to know their Social Security numbers and present a photo ID (if they have one).
Class times are from 9 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday with platforms available for distant learning.
“I can work around schedules if needed,” Duft said.
The ABE program is not limited to GED classes, Duft said.
“If a student already has a high school diploma or credential, but needs to improve basic skills in reading and math, I can help with that,” she said. “In January, I also began teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) students, so I have ESL classes available as well.”
For more information, contact Duft at (620) 223-2700, ext. 4400, or email her at [email protected]. Her office is located in the FSCC library in Bailey Hall.
