General Educational Development Online
I want to welcome you! My name is Peggy Campbell and I am the program coordinator
for Mitchell Community College’s GED Online. This site hopefully will
answer your questions concerning the GED online program.
Can I do everything online?
Orientation and Registration is the initial session
with our program. This is not online. This will be at one of our sites.Once
you have identified that you would like to take GED online, an initial session
with me, the program coordinator will take place at Statesville Continuing
Education Center on 701 West Front Street, Statesville. Here you will be provided
with the tools to make your online sessions a success. Your work after that
will be online. Once you feel ready to take the official GED Tests we will
make an appointment to register you for the test.

Books:
You do not have to buy a book. However, there are excellent books by

then decide if you will need a book. We can talk online about it if you
are having problems. Contacts:
