Effective October 9, 2007, the cost will be $50 for the battery. The record initiation consists of filling out your eligibility and demographic forms.  Test fees are paid at the time of registration.  All payments for any services must be by cash, stipend, voucher, or money order, payable to New Mexico State University.

REFUND POLICY - Any refund requires your original receipt and your test ticket. A refund will be issued only if you return to our office a written request at least 14 days before a scheduled test. Rescheduled tests do not qualify for a refund nor will we reschedule a test after a refund has been issued. The business office will mail your refund check in approximately 3 weeks. There are no exceptions to this policy.

RETESTING - If you have a score of at least 410 on at least 4 tests there is a minimum 30 day waiting period to retest, otherwise there is a minimum 60 day waiting period to re-test. As long as you have not passed the GED battery, you may take any or all subjects up to 3 times in the current calendar year (January through December). Unfinished tests count the same as finished tests for this restriction. All of your test scores expire and will be purged from all records three (3) years from the date of your first official GED test. Retakes have the same cost as the original test.

CANCELLATION POLICY - If you call our office and cancel your tests by the cancellation date & time listed on your registration form, you may reregister once at a later time without penalty.

ABSENCE POLICY- This policy applies:

• if you are not present on time for a scheduled test.
• if your cell phone or other electronic device makes noise in the test room.
• if you are not admitted to a scheduled test due to your being late or not having both of your approved ID’s.
• if you leave before finishing.

If you are absent from any test, you will need to register again. The test fee will be $10 per test. If you start a test and then leave the test room early, you use one of your three chances to test during the calendar year. There are no exceptions to this restriction.
