Adult Literacy
Welcome to the Academic & Career Readiness (ACR) Program!
We know it is not always easy to decide to come back to school. We want to make your experience at Alamance Community College (ACC) a good one.
All classes are FREE of charge, but advance registration is required.
We help students work on many different goals, including:

- improving math skills
- learning to speak English
- earning a high school equivalency
- improving digital literacy
- studying for the US citizenship test
- training for a better job
- preparing for college

We offer many options that include: morning, evening, and Saturday classes, online learning, and a mail-in program. Classes are held at the main Carrington-Scott campus in Graham, the Dillingham Center in Burlington, and various off site locations.
The first step in coming to any of our programs is to schedule an orientation. We offer opportunities to start classes almost every week. During the orientation you will learn about our programs, obtain student success tips, take an assessment test, and be placed into an appropriate class.
Our program offers the following courses:
Adult Basic Education and High School Equivalency (ABE & HSE) – seeking GED®, HiSET®, Adult Education
Adult High School (AHS) – finishing your High School Diploma
