| component of the Regents' Test if that
student's essay received at least one passing score among the three scores awarded and if the student has successfully completed
English 1101 and 1102. Any student who fails the essay component of the Regents' Testing Program may secure a copy of his
or her essay from the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communications. The student should enroll in English 0520 and
take the copy of the essay to his or her first class. The instructor will review and mark the essay indicating if he or she thinks
the essay should be appealed. If the instructor and the student agree that the essay should be appealed, they will submit an
unmarked copy of the essay to a committee consisting of three faculty members appointed by the Vice President for Academic
Affairs. If the student does not concur with the 052 instructor's evaluation of the essay, he or she may appeal the essay by
immediately notifying the committee of his or her intent to appeal and requesting that an unmarked copy of the essay be sent
to the committee. If a majority of the review panel feels that the essay should be appealed, the committee will send its
recommendation, along with a copy of the essay, to the System's Director of the Regents' Testing Program. On the other
hand, a vote by the committee to sustain the essay's failing score will terminate the review process.
The initial step in the review and the review itself are intended to deal with per ceived errors in ratings. The review is not
automatically indicated by a student's failure to pass the essay. A review is indicated only when there is substantial question
concerning the accuracy of scoring and when the criteria set forth in the first sentence of this section on Review of Essay
have been met.
The on-campus review committee will consist of three members, each of whom is an experienced essay rater. A
decision by the on-campus review panel to terminate the review is final; this decision cannot be appealed to any other office,
except in cases where it is reasonably alleged that an adverse decision was based on discrimination with respect to the student's
race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin.
