ANTES publishes the DEPH every 6 months to keep education counselors and personnel better informed. The bi-annual DANTES Examination Program Handbook (DEPH) includes condensed, uniform information for the GRE General, GRE Subject, GMAT, GED and Praxis Series, as these programs are now managed via Exam Reimbursements and no longer require Test Control Officer signature. The updated FY17 DEPH contains two additional chapters: • Chapter III: includes a reimbursement section that instructs DANTES test site personnel on the reimbursement process • Chapter IV: includes a section for non-funded exams or exams not funded by DANTES
T
he FY17 DEPH bi-annual update will be available online the end of April to DANTES testing personnel with access to the DANTES Academic Information Management System (DAIMS). Users can view, search and download the DEPH, as well as other forms and documents used by DANTES testing personnel.
