Spaces available for Fall GED classesIf you’ve ever considered completing your high school education, UF’s GED program can help you! The program has enabled more than 20 UF employees to graduate over the past three years. The fall schedule of classes for the University of Florida’s GED program begins in mid-August. The GED classes are taught by a licensed instructor and meet two mornings a week for a total of four hours per week. GED participants work at their own pace to best meet their learning needs in the areas of math, science, reading, writing, and social studies. There is no cost to attend GED classes, and the time spent in class is considered time worked. |
