Admission to a Regents Exam
Section 8.2 of the Rules of the Board of Regents:
• All students who had the opportunity to complete the course of study
leading to a Regents Exam have the right to be admitted to that exam.
• Students may not be barred from an exam for disciplinary reasons or
because their achievement in a subject is considered unsatisfactory.
• In the case of a science Regents Exam, only students who have also met
the laboratory requirement, which includes 1,200 minutes of laboratory
experience with satisfactory laboratory reports, may be admitted.

Science Laboratory Requirements
Students who completed a course culminating in a Regents
Examination in science during the 2019-20 or 2020-21
school year, including the 2020 and 2021 summer sessions,
but were unable to meet the 1,200-minute laboratory
requirement due to the COVID-19 crisis, continue to be
eligible for admission into future test administrations for that
specific Regents Examination.
This flexibility is not extended to the 2021-22 school year,
however, the Board of Regents has extended the period of
time during which the 1,200-minute laboratory requirement
may be met “through a combination of hands-on and
simulated laboratory experience” where “such hands-on
laboratory experience cannot be met as a result of the
COVID-19 crisis.”

Scenario 1
Addison
Addison failed Earth Science during the
2020-2021 school year. Addison successfully
completed 1,000 hours of satisfactory
laboratory experiences. Addison was unable
to complete the remaining 200 hours due to
COVID-19 scheduling adjustments. Addison
did not complete a summer make up
program.
1. Does Addison need to retake the Earth
Science course during the 2021-2022
school year?
2. Is Addison eligible to sit for the Regents
Exam in Earth Science in January 2022?
1. No. If the student needs a physical science credit, the
school can provide the make up program they deem
most appropriate.
2. Yes.

33
Applying the Compensatory Safety Net
Two Questions:
Are the student’s ELA and
Mathematics Regents Examination
scores at 55 or above (or did the
student successfully appeal scores in
the 52-54 range)?
For every required Regents
Examination score between 45 and
54, is there a compensating score of
65 or above?
If the answer to BOTH above questions is yes, then the student has
met the assessment requirements for a local diploma.
