Regents' Testing
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. Some students enter AASU with one or both requirements satisfied. Students who have not satisfied Regents' requirements must take the Regents' Exam (one or both parts) during the first semester of enrollment.
