Orientation Schedule
Who: All new students must attend a 2-day Orientation ~ see dates below. During orientation you will meet with the instructor and/or other instructional staff to get a sense of what to expect from ABSE classes. Returning Students should check in with the front office if they have been in the program within the current program year.
What: You will be given tests in the subjects that you will be studying – typically reading, writing, and math. The multiple-choice reading and math tests are delivered in two parts – a short test that measures a broad range of skills (on day one), followed by a longer test (on day two) that will pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses in each subject. You may also be given a non-multiple choice math test so that instructors can evaluate your math skills. For writing you will write on a topic provided for you. You will also complete the registration process at Orientation.
When: Orientation and assessment testing takes approximately 5 hours split over 2 days; approximately 3 hours on the first day, and about 2 hours on the second day. Orientations happen at least twice each term, depending on your location. See the dates below.
Spring Term ABSE classes begin Monday, April 1st, 2013. New students are admitted midterm to join in existing classes. See class schedule for times.
Why: This orientation is to place you in our courses designed to prepare you to either take the GED test, or the college placement tests or to achieve your skills development goals.
Where: See chart below. Find your location in the first column, then follow that line across to find out when and where the orientations are held.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a separate GED Test Orientation through the testing office that you must go through once you and your teachers determine you are ready to take the official GED test.
