GED: Your Next Step

Whether a new candidate or transferring from another test site, the first step is to contact the GED Chief Examiner to make an appointment for Intake.

The Chief Examiner is Jack Thompson, Executive Director of the University Center. He can be reached at (989) 705-3701.

All Intakes are conducted in the morning and will take approximately three hours. There is a fee for Intake which is due at time of appointment.

The Intake fee and exam fees can be paid by credit card in advance electronically. If you wish to do so, please click on Online Payment below. Please note that the Intake fee is non-refundable and payment should be made only after setting an appointment with the Chief Examiner. If you are a New Candidate since January 1, 2002, the Intake fee is $50. However, if you are an active GED Student since January 1, 2002 and wish to transfer to the University Center Test Site, the Intake fee is $25.  Exams cost $25 each.  

If you are a New Candidate and wish to pay online, we recomend that you do not pay for any exams until the Intake session has been completed.  You cannot pre-pay and take a GED exam until you have completed your New Candidate Intake or Site Transfer.
