AASU Regents' Testing

TAKING THE REGENTS' TEST AT
ARMSTRONG ATLANTIC STATE UNIVERSITY

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has mandated that students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs leading to the baccalaureate degree shall complete the Regents' Writing and Reading Skills requirement, ensuring that students obtaining a degree from a University System institution possess certain minimum skills of reading and writing, hereinafter called Regents' Writing and Reading Skills.

The Regents' Test is designed to provide a method for satisfying the Regents' Writing and Reading Skills requirement, and all students must take the Regents' Test during their first semester of enrollment.

Armstrong Atlantic State University's Automatic Test Registration System should prompt students to sign up for the Regents' Tests before they register for classes for their first semester of enrollment. If the automatic system does not initiate the test registration, students should follow this path from their S.H.I.P. Main Menu to register for the tests:

Select Student Services & Financial Aid
Then select Academic & Account Information
Then select Sign up for the Regents' Test

In addition, there shall also be two System-mandated courses, one in writing and one in reading, that represent a vehicle for meeting the Regents' Writing and Reading Skills requirement.

Armstrong Atlantic State University has chosen to require the test of all undergraduates who have not earned a baccalaureate or higher degree regardless of degree objective. A student holding a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education will not be required to complete the Regents' Writing and Reading Skills requirement in order to receive a degree from a University System institution.
