Online GED Study PRogram 

Bevill State offers online learning options for individuals who are not able to take classes in a traditional classroom setting. After students complete the required orientation in a nearby classroom location, they are given access to an instructional website and are taught to communicate with an adult education instructor by email and message board. The program provides instruction and practice comparable to the instruction given in the traditional classroom setting. Individuals who wish to study online for the GED® test must meet specific requirements before enrolling.

GED Vouchers

Financial assistance is available to help with the cost of the GED® test for those who attend Adult Education classes. The Department of Postsecondary Education provides vouchers for both the GED® Ready practice tests and the official GED® tests for those who qualify.
