2.	Students whose mother tongue is other than English may be exempted from taking the Regents' Test, but they will be expected to demonstrate their skills by performing acceptably on a comparable examination.
C)	When to take the Regents' Test:
1.	Students who have satisfactorily completed English 1101 and 1102 or English 1111 or have earned 30 hours of credit must take the Regents' Test the next semester in which they are enrolled. Students who fail to take the test at this time will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters until they have taken the test.
2.	Students who have passed only one portion of the Regents' Test are required to take only the segment they have not passed.
3.	Transfer students from within the University System will be held to all policies as described herein. Transfer students from outside the University System who receive 30 or more credit hours of transfer credit must take the Regents' Test no later than the second semester of enrollment. Thereafter, they are subject to all other provisions of this policy.
D) Remediation Requirements:
1.	Students who have earned 74 or fewer hours and who fail one or both parts of the Regents' Test must take English 1101 or 1102 if they have not satisfactorily completed these courses or English 0510 and/or 0520 if they have completed these courses: students who have earned 75 hours of credit or more must take English 0510 and/or 0520 (as appropriate) for remediation whether or not they have completed English 1101 or 1102.
2.	Students required to enroll in English 1101, 1102, 0510 and/or 0520 as required above must meet all requirements of these courses. Students required to take English 1101, 1102, 0510, and/or 0520 may not take an overload or withdraw from this class. Students who miss the equivalent of one week of class will be withdrawn from the class, prohibited from taking the Regents' Test that semester, and made ineligible to register at Augusta State University for the following semester.
3.	Part-time students taking only one course per semester may be permitted to take remediation and repeat the test in only one area at a time although they may have previously failed both components of the Regents' Test. Students who select this option may not take regular degree credit courses during that semester.
E) Regents' Test Remediation Appeal Procedure:
Students who wish to appeal the requirement that they remediate, as specified in "D" above, should make their appeals in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students who appeal merely because remediating is inconvenient or because they have already registered for the current semester should not expect to have their appeals approved.
F) Review of Essay:
A student may request a formal review of his or her failure on the essay
