The purpose of the Intensive College Readiness Programs for Adult Education Students (IP-AES) is to promote successful transition and college success through completion for General Education Development (GED) graduates and reentering adult learners. Successful programs will provide academically at-risk students with opportunities to gain skills associated with persistence and success in college while improving academic preparation in mathematics, reading, and writing. At-risk students eligible to participate in IP-AESs have earned a GED certificate or are adult learners seeking to enroll in a postsecondary training program. Reentering adult learners must be at least 20 years old to be eligible for services under this program.

Resources and Libraries
  • Computer Lab: Computer stations, internet access and Rosetta Stone applications available for family use.
  • Lending Library: Parents may check out educational books on a variety of topics including parenting, relationships, marriage, finance and history.
