The Woolley Center

The Harold Woolley Adult Education Center offers programs to help students become college and career ready. The center serves learners who are working towards obtaining their GED® certificate, learners who are reviewing academic skills, and English language learners. Students in all programs are eligible for assistance with transitioning to college or the workplace. Students can attend classes tailored to their needs, participate in guided study, or take classes online with assistance from qualified instructors.

The Woolley Center offers morning, afternoon, and evening classes in Roseburg and Tri-City. For more information about attending the Woolley Center or to sign up for orientation, call 541-440-4603 or by email at woolley@umpqua.edu

High School Equivalency (GED®)

One of the programs offered at the Woolley Center is GED test preparation. Our instructors help students prepare for all four GED subject tests and earn the equivalent of a high school diploma. Students may qualify for free testing.

Students who complete the GED® certificate and at least sixty hours of class instruction may qualify for a tuition waiver for up to twelve college credits at UCC. This tuition waiver must be used within a calendar year following completion of the final GED® subject test.

Umpqua Community College is the official GED® Testing Center for Douglas County. Tests are given each week in the Educational Support Building (ESB) on the main campus. Appointments for GED® testing are made at https://ged.com/.

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

The Woolley Center offers classes for English language learners at various levels. There are evening and online classes available. Classes cover conversation and pronunciation, with emphasis on work and life skills.

Skills Review

For adults who would like to review their reading, writing, or math skills, the Woolley Center offers skills review classes at both the Roseburg and Tri-City locations. Students receive individual attention and instruction on the subject of their choice.
