In previous years, through a process of coordination with GED® testing centers, school divisions have been able to determine those students in their divisions who have attained a GED® credential. With the implementation of the 2014 GED® test, this coordination source no longer exists.

Submission of these lists should be made to Dr. Sue Mansfield via the SSWS portal. Attached to this memo is a list of SSWS account managers and assistant account managers for each school division. Please contact an account manager or assistant account manager in your division to submit verification request lists through the Dropbox feature.
For questions regarding verification, please contact Dr. Sue Mansfield, specialist for high school equivalency, via e-mail at sue.mansfield@doe.virginia.gov or by telephone at (804) 225-3999.
