Preface
This publication, The GED Testing Program: Policies and Centers combines two formerly separate publications: Official GED Centers and Bulletin No. 5, Policies of State-Level Departments of Education. The book is designed to provide the user with reference to the operation of the GED Testing Program on a state-by-state basisrequirements for issuance of credentials, minimum age for testing, requirements for retesting, method of applying, official transcripts, fees. The name and address of each state administrator is provided, along with a full listing of Official GED Centers and chief examiners for each state, territory, and province.
The GED Testing Program is now administered in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and the Canadian provinces and territories. Editions of the Tests are available in English, French, and Spanish.
The state-level departments of education and the GED Testing Service of the American Council on Education are jointly responsible for the operation and security of the GED Testing Program. The Tests are administered to qualified persons at approximately 2,500 Official GED Centers approved by the state-level departments of education. The credentials issued by state-level departments of eduction are official documents that are acceptable in the same manner as high school graduation diplomas.
Policies of State-Level Departments of Education (Bulletin No. 5), prior to the 1975 edition, contained policies of state departments of education under which local high schools are authorized to grant credit toward a high school diploma for various educational experiences acquired by activeduty military training or educational experiences: (1) United States Armed Forces Institute courses; (2) United States Armed Forces Institute subjective examinations; (3) high school courses offered through USAFI by cooperating colleges and universities; (4) Marine Corps Institute courses; (5) Coast Guard Institute courses; (6) basic or recruit training; and (7) service school training. The specific recommendations and credit allowances are contained in the eleventh edition (1972) of Bulletin No. 5 or may be obtained from the appropriate state departments of education, or the GED
Testing Service of the American Council on Education. The policies contained in the bulletin have been approved for publica-
tion by the respective departments of education and are the policies effective in late 1975. Changes in policies and State Administrator positions will be announced in the OEC Newsletter.
The staff of the GED Testing Service and the Office on Educational Credit gratefully acknowledge the cooperation and assistance of the departments of education, particularly the State Administrators, in the prepara-
tion of this publication.
