before you start
Your Orientation To The GED
GED Orientations are held in the San Mateo Adult School SMART Center, 789 E. Poplar Street, San Mateo, 94401
Please see our campus map. Both morning and evening meetings are available. Please call the GED Registrar at 650-558-2116 for upcoming Orientation dates, times, and availability.
If you plan to attend an Orientation meeting, you must come to the Adult School SMART Center and register in person with GED Registrar. At that time, registrants will also be given important instructions on how to prepare for your Orientation meeting.
Critical Steps Before Orientation
There are two important steps that a student must complete before attending Orientation. If an unprepared student comes to Orientation, the student forfeits the Orientation fee and must sign up for another Orientation date.
"No Shows"
Students who do not show up for their scheduled Orientation meeting must sign up for a future Orientation.
