Ohio Graduation Tests

Current law requires students who first enrolled in grade 9 before July 1, 2014, to take and pass the Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT) to earn a high school diploma. Beginning July 1, 2022, former students and students attending adult diploma programs that need to pass the OGT to earn their diplomas may take applicable subject end-of-course (EOC) tests. See table below for guidance. Testers are required to have SSIDs or other approved State test identifiers and present a photo ID at the time of testing.
