*GRE Instructions
Applicants contact www.gre.org to arrange their GRE General test. The UPEI institutional code is 0941. The test can be completed at the test centre of your choice.

Those students that wish to write the paper-based test must submit the GRE registration form, fee and a written request stating they wish to write the paper based test at UPEI (10778) to the address listed on the registration form. Below is the web address for the registration form; https://web1.gre.org/GreWebReg/.
