26 earn GED, opening doors to work and higher ed

26 students earned a high school equivalency diploma last year through FLCC's free community GED prep courses.

Twenty-six residents of five counties earned a general equivalency diploma (GED) through Finger Lakes Community College over the last year.

FLCC offers free day and evening classes to help students prepare for the GED exam in English or Spanish. Classes are offered in Canandaigua, Geneva, Lyons, Newark, Penn Yan, Sodus, Victor and Wolcott.

Program advisors also offer students assistance with selecting career goals and enrolling in post-secondary education and training.

Students are admitted into the program all year and are given a flexible time frame for completing it. New students entering GED classes must take an in-person pretest in math and reading.

For more information, email GED@flcc.edu or call (585) 785-1431.
