General Information About the Regents' Reading and Writing Skills Requirements
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia instituted the requirement that each college or university of the system ensure that students obtaining a degree possess certain minimum skills of reading and writing. These skills are referred to as the Regents' Reading and Writing Skills. There are two System-mandated courses in reading and in writing that are designed to meet the Regents' Reading and Writing Skills requirement.
Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs leading to the baccalaureate degree must pass the Regents' Reading Skills and Regents' Writing Skills courses as a requirement for graduation.
The Regents' Reading and Writing Skills courses (RGTR 0198 and RGTE 0199) have been developed to help in the attainment of this goal.
Regents’ Reading and Writing Skills Courses (RGTE 0199 and RGTR 0198)
Passing the Regents' Reading and Writing Skills courses is defined as completing the courses and passing the corresponding Regents' Test. Students who pass will receive an "S"; those not passing will receive a "U."
Exemptions of the Regents’ Test Requirement
Students may exempt these courses through examination by passing the Regents' Reading Test and the Regents' Essay Test or an approved alternative test in reading comprehension and in writing. For more information, contact your undergraduate academic advisor or the Office of Vice President for Instruction.
