Regents' Testing Program
 The following is the policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and Augusta State University regarding the Regents' Testing Program:

A) Requirements: Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs shall pass the Regents' Test

as a requirement of graduation. Passing the Regents' Test is defined as having passed all components of the test by scoring above the cutoff score specified for each component. If one component of the test is passed, that component need not be retaken; this provision is retroactive to all students who have taken the test in any form since the inception of the program.

B) Exceptions:
1. Students who hold a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution
. . of higher education will not be required to complete the Regents' Test.

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
