GED Testing

GED testing is available at SWOCC's Coos Bay Campus by appointment only in the testing services of Educational Support Programs & Services (ESPS). Please beware, there is no place in Oregon or the United States to "take the GED online." Test takers must register online at GED123.org and will need state-issued, photo ID - a high school ID won't work. Test takers under 18 must have a signed Release from Compulsory Attendance on school district letterhead (not the referral to study) from the high school of their legal residence.

There is a $75 fee paid at the Coos or Curry Campus for the 5 tests and maybe a $10 retesting fee. Call 541-888-7405 for scheduling information.The calendar is subject to change, but the Coos Bay Campus usually tests:
