G.E.D. Test Accommodations

GED examinations are administered by Chemeketa Community College GED Testing Center. Students who have documented disabilities may apply for test accommodations to the State of Oregon through our Disability Services office.

If you apply for GED Testing Accommodations, you may request that your Accommodation Specialist act in the role of the "Advocate" on your behalf.

Accommodations approved by the state of Oregon (not Chemeketa Community College) may include:

• Audiocassette (tone-indexed)
• Extended Time
• Braille
• Scribe
• Private Room
• Calculator
• Supervised Breaks

Cost:

The college charges all students an exam fee. For current fee and test registration information, call the GED Testing Office or go to www.chemeketa.edu/catalog/studies/ged/

There are no additional charges for accommodations.

How To Obtain This Service:

You must have a request form approved by the state GED office in order to have accommodations for your GED test.

Here are steps to help you in this process:

1. Make an appointment with an Accommodations Specialist.
2. Provide the Accommodation Specialist with your documentation of disability.
3. Sign all necessary forms and your Accommodation Specialist will submit your packet to the Testing Center.
4. The Testing Center will submit the request to the state GED office for approval. This process may take three to six weeks.
5. You will receive a letter from the Testing Center notifying you of your approved accommodations and how you may contact the GED Testing Office to make your first exam appointment.
