Early College
Early College Opportunities
Central Community College and area high schools have formed a partnership to offer
opportunities for students to take college classes while they are still in high school.
High School Articulation is an alignment of high
school curriculum to Central Community College
(CCC) curriculum.
Articulated courses allow students to earn CCC
college credit at no cost to the student if they earn
an A or a B in the high school course. Over 70
schools across our area offer a variety of courses
covering several career pathways; please contact
your high school counselor to see which courses
are available at your school.
Early College classes are offered for credit through
Central Community College. These courses are
offered on campus, in your building or as an online
course. Students are required to meet college
admissions requirements by taking the ACT, ASSET,
or COMPASS test. Transferability of Early College
courses is determined by the receiving institution.
Central Community College transcripts can be sent
to any college upon the student’s request. Check
with your high school guidance counselor to see
what is offered at your school.

Adult Education
The Adult Education
program includes:
Adult Basic Education classes for adults with skills below the
eighth grade, including reading, writing, math and keyboarding
to gain skills needed to take the General Educational
Development (GED®) test and to be college/career-ready.
English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for adults whose
first language is not English.
General Educational Development (GED®) classes for adults
who haven’t completed a high school diploma or home-schooled
youth. Students can earn an official State of Nebraska High
School Diploma by successfully completing a series of computer-based GED® tests.
The Grand Island Adult Education office and classes are located in rooms 95, 100, 101,
and 102 of College Park, 3180 W. Highway 34. Students must come to our office to
make an appointment for placement tests before starting classes.
Students must be 16 or older and officially withdrawn from school. 16 and 17-year-old
students must have the proper paperwork allowing them to study for a GED® diploma preapproved by the Nebraska Department of Education.
A $20 registration fee is due a minimum of two weeks prior to orientation. ESL orientations
are in July, October, January and April. GED® orientations are held the first Thursday of
every month at either 9 a.m. or 6 p.m. For information about classes in other communities,
go to www.cccneb.edu/ae.
GED® testing is computer-based and official tests are taken at certified Pearson Vue
testing centers. The GED® tests cost $30 per each of the four tests for a total of $120.
A Nebraska high school graduate, on average, earns $5,423 more per
year than a high school dropout. Apply that to the 163,000 Nebraskans
(9.9% of the population) without a diploma, and that adds up to $886
million in lost wages. That’s $886 million each year that isn’t being spent
by consumers, isn’t being made by businesses, and isn’t being taxed.
Volunteer tutors 18 years or older are welcome.
To schedule an appointment or to inquire about orientation, call 308-398-7432 between
8 a.m.-1 p.m. or 5 p.m.-9 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
