Randolph Community College’s College and Career Readiness Department is
hosting an Open House at the Eastside Community Center from 2-5 p.m.
(floating) on Saturday, Dec. 1. The event is to celebrate the success of
General Educational Development (GED) and Career Readiness classes at
Eastside and to introduce upcoming changes in GED testing being mandated
by the state.
During the Open House, students can
register for Career Readiness (formerly called Human Resource
Development) classes or GED classes, learn about the new GED assessment
test and see a sample, and meet the instructors.
The first change in GED Testing will be a fee increase for the
paper-based test, effective Jan. 1, 2013. The State Board of Community
Colleges recently approved a $10 increase to the GED testing fee, which
will now be $35 for the paper-based test. This one-time fee will be
charged to all students who have not taken at least one paper-based test
within the GED battery prior to Jan. 1, 2013. If you have already paid
the $25 fee and taken part of the tests, you will not be charged an
additional fee.
In January 2014, a new GED test
series will start and paper-based tests will be replaced with
computer-based testing. A new fee structure will also be instituted, and
students who haven’t completed their GED testing at that point will be
required to start their testing over. Watch for more information on
these changes in 2013.
For more information, call 336-633-0106.
