Get one step closer to Fellowship by registering to take the Fellowship Exam.

To register, download the form PDF, and send it with your fee to the AGD. You can choose to take the exam in one of two ways:

Special Accommodations
If you’re taking the paper and pencil version of exam and need special accommodations, please complete the following:

  1. Submit a letter to the AGD a minimum of 60 days before the exam deadline requesting special accommodations; and
  2. Provide documentation from a qualified professional (physician, psychologist, counselor) who is currently treating you verifying your condition and the specific assistance you’ll require.

The AGD reserves the right to authorize the use of auxiliary aids or modifications in such a way as to maintain the integrity and security of the examination process.

Paper/Pencil at the Annual Meeting
Take the Fellowship Exam on paper and pencil at the AGD Annual Meeting & Exhibits. You can register separately for the exam by downloading the registration form PDF and sending it to the AGD or with your annual meeting registration. You may also register on-site to take the exam up to and including the morning of the exam. 

DANTES Testing Centers for Overseas U.S. Military Personnel
Members who are in the military and stationed overseas may register to take the exam at a DANTES facility, given in conjunction with the annual meeting examination date. To register, complete the registration form PDF, and send it to the AGD. Additionally, you must have your DANTES Test Control Officer (TCO) send a letter to the AGD verifying the following information:

  • Name of the proctor administering the exam;
  • Shipping address for the DANTES facility;
  • Contact telephone number or e-mail address for the TCO;
  • Confirmation of the test-taker’s name; and
  • A statement confirming that the TCO will administer and secure the exam until such time when it is returned to the AGD.

Members will not be allowed to sit for the Fellowship Exam if a letter is not submitted from the DANTES TCO.  Letters may be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to the AGD.
