Next Step College Transition Program

Next Step is DeKalb Technical College’s Transition Program for GED graduates who plan to attend college.  The program provides assistance in helping individuals who have earned their GED diploma to make the successful transition into DeKalb Technical College’s credit course.  The goal of the program is to guide students through the admissions process, financial aid, career counseling, and other support services.  Students can attend workshops and receive one-on-one support in these areas.

Specific on going Next Step activities include:

• Individualized and group sessions with prospective students
• Campus tours and class visitation
• Workshops on completeing your admissions and FAFSA (financial aid) applications
• Presentations on “college survival” skills to help students adjust to college life
• Informational sessions to local community adult education providers

If you do not have your GED diploma, you might qualify for our GED dual enrollment program.  To be considered for dual enrollment, you must be currently taking GED classes, have the minimum required scores, and be recommended by your instructor.
