If you intend to get your GED in Utah, you should be aware of the state's GED policies.

GED eligibility requirements in Utah

  • You do not need to reside in Utah.
  • You cannot be a high school graduate or enrolled in an accredited high school.
  • You must be at least 18 years old. If you have formally left the public secondary school system and have completed the Adult Education Program and/or GED Testing Application for 16-18-Year-Old Non-Graduates form, you can take the test at the age of 16 or 17. You can get this form from special-purpose residential schools, charter schools, or public high schools in Utah. If you are 16 years old, you must access a Utah state-sponsored adult education program to verify your academic readiness before taking the GED tests. An adult education program's verification does not ensure that the test-taker will pass. Check out all of Utah's GED policies since there may be additional eligibility requirements.
