As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all Regents examinations in January have been canceled, state Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa announced in a statement Tuesday. No decision on Regents exams in June and August have been made, the statement said.

“New York set a daunting record last week with more COVID-19 cases reported in one day than ever before,” Rosa said. “Once again, the January Regents Exams cannot be safely, equitably, and fairly administered across the state. We will continue to work with our schools, districts, and stakeholders to ensure they have what they need to provide academic, social and emotional, and mental health support for our students.”
