Revisions to Board of Regents Policy Manual, Section 4.2.1 Admission Requirements for Programs Leading to an Associate or Baccalaureate Degree  \nBackground:  \nThe Board approved the following resolution in the meeting held on Jan 13, 2026.  \nThe Board of Regents directs the USO Division of Academic Affairs to develop a policy on the use of the Classic Learning Test (CLT) for admissions purposes, in addition to the SAT/ACT. The policy should be presented to the Board at its February 2026 meeting and apply to students seeking admission beginning Fall 2027. The policy should be designed for all test-optional USG institutions and test-mandatory USG institutions, with the only exceptions being University of Georgia and Georgia Institute of Technology. For these two institutions, only SAT/ACT will be used for admissions purposes at this time.  \nHowever, it is the goal of the Board to pursue a data-driven approach and after adequate CLT-related admissions and student success data are available, the Board will make further considerations related to the use of CLT across all institutions within the USG.  \nFollowing the above resolution, this policy revision adds language regarding CLT to the policy on admissions requirements for programs leading to an Associate or Baccalaureate degree. This revision also makes additional modifications, such as referencing the current titles for sections of the SAT, and streamlining this policy’s paragraphs to clarify how standardized tests are considered in the current year, and will be considered moving forward.
