Essential Education is provided to all students as an additional learning resource to support their success in the classroom. This online platform allows students to continue studying outside of the classroom, which is strongly encouraged and plays an important role in academic progress.

For students who are unable to attend class regularly due to work, transportation, or other extenuating circumstances, we will work with them to complete the majority of their coursework online, provided they adhere to the following requirements:

• Students are required to meet with their instructor bi-weekly to review progress, receive guidance, and ensure they are staying on track.
• All assessments, including the TABE and GED testing, must be completed on campus. Florida does not permit online testing for these assessments.
• To remain in good standing, students must meet the program’s minimum weekly online study hour requirements and demonstrate consistent academic progress.
• Student must have strong reliable internet and desktop/laptop.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in the student being required to return to in-person instruction or being withdrawn from the program in accordance with Adult Education policies

If enrolled in the program, students will be provided all the study materials they will need including textbooks, workbooks and use of on-campus computers.

Students may be eligible for testing scholarships to cover the costs of the GED Ready tests, GED subject exams and IET Certification Exams. Scholarships are dependent upon availability and program criteria.

CF is an official GED Testing Site and all students receive first availability to test dates and times. To help guide them through the process, students are offered testing strategies and assistance in scheduling their test.

Students in need of extra help can take advantage of one-on-one tutoring with a CF tutor.

CF offers guidance for students wanting to continue into higher education. To start the enrollment and financial aid process, students can visit the CF Advising offices. Ask about the “Levy Promise Scholarship,” which is offered exclusively to Levy County residents.

CF offers campus graduation ceremonies twice a year to celebrate our graduates. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. Cap, gown, cords and tassels are free of charge for each graduate. Select students may be nominated to be a part of the National Adult Education Honor Society.
