AASU Regents' Testing

Where do I sign up to take the test?
You can sign up for the Regents' Test at AASU through SHIP. If for some reason, you cannot fill out this form, you can register for the test at the Division of Student Affairs, Memorial College Center 211 (second floor) or call 344-2582. Students who need to make changes to their test registration days or times can contact Testing Services at 344-2582 to see if alternative sessions are available.

When is the Regents' Test offered?
Check SHIP for the test schedule as it will vary per semester.

How do I get my Regents' Test scores?
The scores are returned 6-8 weeks after the test date. You can locate your scores by logging into your SHIP account, selecting the Permanent Student Record, and scrolling down to the test scores area of the document.

What happens if I do not take the Regents' Test by my 45th credit hour?
Students who have earned 45 college-level semester credit hours and have not passed the Regents' Test must take the appropriate non-degree credit course(s) in remedial reading and/or remedial writing in each semester of attendance until they have passed all components of the test. You will need to contact the Office of Academic Orientation and Advisement to enroll in these courses. They will advise you on which course(s) you will need to take and will remove any holds on your registration as they pertain to Regents' testing.
