GED and Adult High School Diploma
Clackamas Community College offers you several ways to complete your GED or high school diploma and build skills in reading and math to help you meet your work, education and personal goals. With hands-on help and supportive staff at CCC, you can do this!
To participate in any of the classes, you must be at least 16 years old. Individuals who are 16-18 years of age may be admitted, with either a documented release from compulsory attendance or a direct referral from the high school. Usually your high school counselor can help with this.
We invite all GED and Adult High School Diploma graduates to participate in the formal cap and gown commencement ceremonies at CCC held at the end of spring term in June. It's a great way to celebrate your accomplishments!

Get a jumpstart on completing your GED!
We offer a special JumpStart course to help students earn their GED. The three- to five-week course is an introduction where skills are assessed, whole group and one-on-one instruction is provided, and students are connected to resources within the college and the community. The course focuses on quick completion of the GED and targeted skill building, as well as an exploration of college and career opportunities.
When students finish JumpStart, they are placed into the most appropriate class depending on their skills. Those who complete the GED test while at CCC will continue to be supported as they work to continue their education or work-related goals.
JumpStart is offered at the Oregon City campus and the Harmony campus in Milwaukie. For more information, call 503-594-3027.
GED and Adult Programs
The GED is a series of four tests (Related Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Math) that lead to high school equivalency. Students must achieve a minimum score of 145 to pass each test. All tests are computer based and can be taken at any Pearson Testing Center. CCC has a Pearson Testing Center at Oregon City, Harmony and Wilsonville campuses. Each test costs $38 and can be retaken for a fee of $10.
Clackamas Community College offers online, day and evening GED classes at our Oregon City and Harmony campuses. A fee is charged each term for the GED classes. GED classes are offered in English and Spanish.

Are you seeking a way to finish up your high school diploma? You can take an active role in planning your education through participation in the Adult High School Diploma (AHSD) program at Clackamas Community College. If you have earned at least 14 high school credits, AHSD provides you a pathway to completing high school, along with the option to earn college credits at the same time.
To learn more about the program, contact the Oregon City Campus Smart Learning Lab at 503-594-3027 or email ged@clackamas.edu.
The length of your AHSD program depends on how many credits you need to earn. Cost depends on courses you take and referral from the school district. Adult Secondary Education classes carry only high school credit. If you are earning college credit while taking the program, college tuition and fees may apply.
Improving your basic skills can be the first step toward getting ahead in the job market or in life. Clackamas Community College offers basic skills education in reading and math. Adult Basic Education (ABE) classes provide instruction and support to help you reach your goals. Contact the Oregon City Campus Smart Learning Lab at 503-594-3027 to get started.
