How to Obtain a GED Waiver

In some states, candidates who desire to take the General Educational Development (GED) test must be withdrawn from high school for at least one year. Fortunately, some GED programs will accept a waiver in lieu of this requirement. To obtain a waiver, all students must meet certain eligibility requirements and follow specific guidelines.

Instructions

      Verify your eligibility to apply for the GED waiver. In most states, students must be between the ages of 16 to 18 years old and not be presently enrolled in any diploma-based program.

      Locate supporting documents. You can submit a copy of your driver's license, birth certificate, state or government-issued identification or passport for age verification. Most programs require a parent or guardian's signature on the waiver form for students under 18 years old. You must also submit a signed withdrawal verification statement from the superintendent or other designated school administrator.
