Adult Education

Courses in Adult Basic Education (ABE) and GED Preparation are non-credit courses intended for those who want to develop the reading, writing, and math skills needed to pass the GED test or to begin college level work or training.

Students under the age of 19 years must be formally released from their local high school before enrolling in any Olympic College Adult Education program.

All new students must attend an orientation session before registering for classes. Orientations are held in the Health Occupations Building, room 142, and continue to be held on selected Friday's throughout the quarter.   Seating is limited; call 475-7550 to set up your appointment now.
