GED®

According to Illinois School Code, the responsibility of administering the General Educational Development (GED®) Testing Program is entrusted to the Regional Superintendent's Office. This is a series of five (5) tests covering Social Studies, Science, Language Arts (writing), Language Arts (reading) and Math, plus the Illinois and United States Constitutions. Passing this series of tests entitles registrants (17 years of age or older without a high school diploma) to receive a high school equivalency certificate.

 

We are also custodians of GED® records for individuals who tested in Will County as well as Joliet Job Corps and all Will County Correctional Centers.

Attention GED Testers: All GED certificates issued prior to and including 2009 will be held at our New Lenox office until March 31st, 2012.

Effective April 1st, 2012 all remaining certificates will be purged.

A $10 reprint fee will be charged for a purged certificate.
