Is there a way that a high school student can study to take the General Education Development (GED) and be gaining credits or do they need to be enrolled in a minimum of 5 classes, or 25 units?
The minimum number of classes in which a CORE student needs to be enrolled is 30 units, or 6 courses, unless that student is a high school senior. In this case, the student needs to be enrolled in 25 units, or 5 courses. The exceptions to this requirement are in the cases where a student is (1) taking community college courses, (2) enrolled in a Regional Occupation Program, and/or (3) enrolled in Work Experience Education. In these cases, the number of courses is worked out accordingly with the student’s Independent Study Teacher. With this said, a student may independently prepare for the GED or consider her/his regular course of instruction as preparation for the exam. There are independent course preparation services/schools. For more information, please visit http://www.acenet.edu/calec/ged/home.html.
