    3.4.6 Regents’ Test

    Each institution of the University System of Georgia shall assure the other institutions, and the system as a whole, that students obtaining a degree from that institution possess certain minimum skills of reading and writing. The Regents' Skills Program has been developed to help in the attainment of this goal. The objectives of the Regents' Skills Program are (1) to provide system-wide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing and (2) to provide a uniform means of identifying those students who fail to attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing.

    The University of North Georgia has been granted an institutional exemption to the Regents Reading and Writing Skills requirement by the USG executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer under delegated authority of the chancellor in consultation with the chair of the academic affairs committee of the Board of Regents.

    The exemption was granted based on UNG’s assessment of communications outcomes in Area A1 classes (ENGL 1101 and 1102). Therefore, if a student has passed ENGL 1101 and 1102 with a C or higher (or has been granted transfer credit for those classes AFTER ENROLLING at an exempt institution), then the student is exempt from Regents' Test requirements at that point, regardless of where he/she may transfer.

    Other exemptions may be found at the BOR website.
