High School Equivalency / GED®

You must be 17 or older and no longer enrolled in high school. You'll need to provide:

• A valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport).
• A completed Age Waiver Form from your last high school, confirming you are no longer enrolled.
• If you are under 18, a consent form signed by a parent or guardian is required.

Each eight-week term costs $20. We can accept cash, check, or credit/debit card.

The HiSET is a series of five computer-based tests covering writing, math, science, social studies, and reading. Tests are taken one at a time and cost $18 per test. Iowa Valley requires students to take and pass the math section first. Students can choose the order of their remaining tests, but the writing test cannot be last. When you pass all five, you earn your Iowa High School Equivalency Diploma.

Note: Before you can take your last HiSET test, you will have to take the US Civics tests and pass with a minimum of 60 percent.
