Among the diverse and varied missions of community colleges is the provision of instruction for students who have either been underserved by their previous educational institutions or not had the opportunity to complete high school. Included under this umbrella are low-performing high school students, individuals with low basic skills, and those who have prematurely left high school prior to earning a diploma. Principally, community colleges fulfill this aspect of their mission through noncredit courses and programs in adult developmental education. While missions vary across localities and states, providing basic and secondary education as well as GED (General Education Development) preparation is often overlooked as a way community colleges expand access to education. This chapter examines the involvement of the community college in the GED process as well as the academic outcomes for high school dropouts who have enrolled in the program. Using Iowa as an example, the chapter examines the available data and derives important policies for GED in specific and other noncredit coursework in general. (Contains 2 tables.)
