First, you will need to take a placement test, called CASAS. The CASAS test results indicate your placement and will assist the instructor in proceeding with your individualized plan to help you obtain your educational goals. There is a $10 fee for the CASAS test, and it is held every Thursday at 1pm and 6pm. Seats are limited; call 503.981.8820 to reserve your seat.
Once you have taken the CASAS test, you will need to attend a ABE/GED orientation. This will help you to understand your CASAS scores. You will also receive information about the class, schedules and expectations. After completing the CASAS test you will go to class the following Monday or Tuesday at the scheduled start time for orientation. The classes are $70 per term and payment is due at the time of the orientation. There are day and evening sessions available.
