High School Equivalency (HSE) Program

The New Mexico Public Education Department has approved two HSE tests, the GED and HiSET. Passing either of these tests will qualify you for an official New Mexico HSE credential.

As an HSE student, you must register for classes based on your current scores on the CASAS Reading and Math GOALS placement test.

HSE Orientations

Please complete the HSE Virtual Orientation to take the first step!

You are encouraged to take classes in multiple subjects if possible: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies, depending on your current test scores. If you choose to take just one class, you must register for a class based on your lowest test score. For example, if your Math score is your lowest score, you must register for a Math class. If your Reading score is your lowest score, you must register for a Language Arts class.

Classes are currently being offered online and in-person.

Tutoring

If you need more flexible scheduling options, our program offers tutoring, study groups, and distance-learning classes.

In addition to classes, our program offers tutoring, workshops, and open computer labs if you need extra help with your classwork or if you cannot attend classes regularly.

Individual Tutoring

You must contact the The Learning and Computer Center (TLCc) to make an appointment to meet with a tutor. Please see the contact information listed below.

Workshops and Study Groups

These are scheduled on specific days and times but are less formal than a regular class. Study groups are a great way to work on a specific topic or area that you want to focus on.
