If you started working toward your HSE while incarcerated, you do not have to start over. Many students begin GED or HiSET classes or pass one or more subject tests while incarcerated and are then released before completing their credential. Others may have difficulty accessing their GED or HiSET account after release or may not know what steps to take next. Georgia Adult Education can help you continue where you left off and get back on track toward earning your HSE.

Why Finish Your GED?

Returning to the community after incarceration can present many challenges. Earning your GED can help remove one of the most common barriers to employment, training, and educational opportunities.

Completing your GED can help you:

• Qualify for more job opportunities.
• Meet admission requirements for technical college programs.
• Access workforce training and apprenticeship opportunities.
• Increase your earning potential.
• Build confidence and demonstrate commitment to personal growth.
• Create a stronger foundation for supporting yourself and your family.

The good news is that any GED subject tests you have already passed still count toward earning your credential. Whether you completed one test or three while incarcerated, you may be much closer to your goal than you realize.

The Online GED test requires a private room, a computer, camera, speakers, and an internet connection for the individual delivery of the test at home or in another secure location. The Online GED test is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
