HSED Online

HSED online is a blended approach in which students take pre-assessments and official HiSET practice tests at a face-to-face site while doing the majority of their study online. Students interested in online study must still attend an orientation session at their nearest HSED class site.

Online study is reserved for those students who have barriers to attending class at a face-to-face site (work schedule, no transportation, lack of childcare). However, students with low pre-assessment scores at orientation will be encouraged to attend face-to-face because of the increased need for assistance with coursework.
