GED® and Pre-College Education

Concurrent Enrollment Program

College + ESL or GED® Simultaneously

Take college courses with support while completing your GED® or studying English, and RCC will pay for them!

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be a current GED® & Pre-College Education student.
  • Complete an interest form by the end of the 6th week of the term prior to the term in which you would like to take your college class(es).
  • Be recommended by your current PCE instructor based on classwork, attendance and participation.
  • GED students score "Likely to Pass" on the relevant GED Ready Practice Test and pass at least two official GED tests.
  • ESL students score a 236 on the ESL CASAS and successfully complete a relevant PCE class in English with other English-speaking students.
  • Not yet eligible to receive federal financial aid (FAFSA) at time of acceptance into the Concurrent Enrollment Program.
  • Be approved for admission to our Concurrent Enrollment Program by our screening committee of lead instructors.

Once Admitted to our Concurrent Enrollment Program:

  • You will get to choose to take up to 8 credits worth of college courses. RCC will pay your college course tuition/fees and allow you to check-out required textbooks at the RCC library. You will only be responsible for the $65 PCE term fee. This is a savings of about $1,000!
  • You will take a support course with built-in tutoring and question-and-answer time that will complement your college course(s)
  • In certain circumstances, you will be allowed to bypass prerequisite courses to get ahead on your college certificate/degree
