School District Responsibilities 

1. School districts do not have the authority to delay or deny access to the GED Tests if the candidate is qualified under Eligibility even though the candidate’s class has not graduated.
   Note: this is inclusive of correctional facilities, detention centers and jails providing education services under the direction of the local school district’s board of education.
2. School age GED candidates, who have an IEP, are eligible for Free Access to Public Education (FAPE) regardless of whether or not they may have successfully obtained a GED and the resulting Utah High School Completion Diploma.
3. School age GED candidates, whose class has not graduated, who do not pass all five of the GED Tests, may return to a K-12 program of instruction and will be required to complete all necessary graduation requirements for a traditional K-12 diploma.
