- You cannot be enrolled in an accredited high school or be a high school graduate.
- You must be 18 years old or older, however if you are 16 or 17 you are eligible if you have been formally withdrawn from the public secondary school system and have completed the Adult Education Program and/or GED Testing Application for 16-18 Year-Old Non-Graduates form. This form is obtained from Utah public high schools, charter schools or special purpose residential schools. 16-year-olds must access a Utah state-sponsored adult education program for verification of academic readiness necessary to take the GED tests. Verification by an adult education program is not a guarantee that the test-taker will pass the tests.
