Students who have already completed a GED orientation session must pay testing fees and schedule testing appointments by calling (608) 757-7666 or 1-800-498-1282, ext. 7666. BTC will not accept new examinees or fees (excluding re-tests) after Friday, November 1, as the college prepares to begin computer-based testing in January 2014.
