Did you place below college level or miss the financial aid deadline?

You can start here – now!

TCC’s ABE program can help you reach your professional and educational goals at a fraction of the cost! Students take our classes for different reasons. You can earn your high school diploma through our High School+ program, take support classes for the GED^® or build your skills to college level through our Reading/Writing and math classes.

Eligibility

All students must be at least 16 years old to take ABE classes. If you are under 19, you must be formally released from high school before enrolling in ABE classes. To obtain a release from your high school, contact the last school or school district to request a release. 

Note: Individuals with visitor or international student visas are not eligible. The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program offers intensive college preparatory English instruction for international students.

• Demonstrate academic reading, math, and written and oral communication skills through the development of critical thinking and comprehension strategies.
