P. REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
In 1972, The Board of Regents created a policy that stated that 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 literacy competence,
that is, certain minimum skills of reading and writing.
The Regents' Testing Program has been developed to help in the attainment of this goal.
The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to provide System-wide information of 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.
Beginning with the summer 2011 semester, Darton State College students
seeking a degree no longer have to take the Regents’ Test in order to graduate. Darton
State College was granted Regents’ Test exemption status; this means that the skills
measured by the Regents’ Test are measured within the core curriculum. Specifically, at
Darton State College, a student whose program of study would require passing the
Regents’ Test is considered to have met the Regents’ Testing requirements by earning a
grade of C or better in both ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102. A student who takes ENGL 1101
and/or ENGL 1102 and does not earn a C or better is required to re-enroll in the class the
following semester. The student will also be required to complete the Intensive Composition
and Reading Review workshop concurrently with the repeated ENGL 1101/ENGL 1102
course.
