Basic Skills
Potential Online GED Student |
| |
| I want to welcome you! My name is Peggy Campbell and I am the program coordinator for Mitchell Community College’s GED Online.
This site hopefully will answer your questions concerning the GED online program.
Can I do everything online? Orientation and Registration is the initial session with our program.
This is not online. This will be at one of our sites.Once you have identified that you would like to take
GED online, an initial session with me, the program coordinator will take place at Statesville Continuing
Education Center on 701 West Front Street, Statesville. Here you will be provided with the tools to make
your online sessions a success. Your work after that will be online. Once you feel ready to take the
official GED Tests we will make an appointment to register you for the test.

| Online Requirements: |
- Work at least four(4) hours or more a week toward your goal of obtaining a GED
- When you finished with the subject’s units, you will take the online practice tests and score 470 or better in the “timed” mode. If not timed I will not accept this test.
- Fill out the appropriate paperwork
- Take the official GED TEST( you may take one test at a time or, as many as the schedule allows)

| Books: |
|
You do not have to buy a book. However, there are excellent books by Contemporary, Steck-Vaughn, and others. I normally suggest working online for awhile and then decide if you will need a book. We can talk online about it if you are having problems.
