MCC offering online GED courses

Students interested in earning their General Education Development certificate online can register for a new GEDi that features more interaction.

Registration for the online course is at 9 a.m. and at 6 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, this Monday through March 27 at McHenry County College in Building A, Room A362, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Students must arrive promptly at the start time; it takes two to three hours to complete the registration and review class information.

On the registration day of their choice, prospective students may come to either the morning or evening registration session. Staff will help students complete forms and assess needs.
