General Education Assessment Program

All students who have earned between 54 and 72 credits at the end of a given semester are required to complete the UW-Green Bay General Education Assessment program.

The program consists of  a three-hour multiple-choice exam -- the College Basic Academic Subjects Examination or College BASE -- that must be completed by all continuing and transfer students who have earned between 54 and 72 credits at the end of the semester.  The exam assesses students' academic strengths and weaknesses in English, mathematics, science and social studies independent of grades.  The test is designed to give you feedback on your general education knowledge and skills, as well as feedback to the UWGB faculty.

Students are notified by mail when it is time to complete the assessment.  THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO TESTING. 

There is no cost for taking the exam. However, if a student fails to attend one of the regularly scheduled testing sessions, a fee is required for a make-up exam. Students who score 300 or higher on the exam will receive one degree credit at no cost.
