When can I take my GED, HiSET, CASAS, or PearsonVUE test?
All in-person testing (GED, HiSET, CASAS, and PearsonVUE) is on hold until further notice. Plans for different testing options are being considered and will be communicated once WCSA is allowed to move forward.

Can I sign up for a special interest class?
All WCSA special interest classes are canceled until further notice.

How do I pick up my diploma? Is my diploma ready?
Diploma pick-up has to be done in person. Please call the office to inquire on the status of your diploma.

How many hours should I be spending on Essential Ed? What are the requirements? What are your suggestions?
The more hours you can spend on Essential Ed, the better. There is no “requirement”, but it is suggested that you try spending at least 6 hours per week since that is the same amount of time you would be spending in class, if we had face-to-face classes.
