Individuals 17 years old must submit a withdrawal form with a parent/guardian signature. Individuals who are 18 may submit, instead of a withdrawal form, a letter from the last high school attended stating that the class with which they entered ninth grade has already graduated (or would have graduated if the student never entered high school). Testing is free. For test takers 21 years old or older: All test takers who are 21 years of age or older and a non-veteran must pay a one-time $13 registration fee to take the GED® tests. Veterans are free. This fee includes the cost of issuing a diploma upon the successful completion of all four parts of the test.

Clients meet periodically with an advisor for feedback and assessment to complete tasks to document their competency.
