How is my score used?

A final score of 85% or higher in ALEKS Chemistry allows you to enroll in or remain enrolled in CH301. The “final score” includes assessments plus learning mode within ALEKS Chemistry.

What are the required minimum scores for course placement?

Every UT student enrolling in CH301 needs a 85% or higher in ALEKS Chemistry by noon on the 1st class day (summer students) or midnight on August 26th (fall students).

What if I do not obtain the required minimum score?

If the deadline has not yet passed:

Keep going! ALEKS Chemistry allows you to increase your score by working through its tutorials and practice problems. Each correctly answered question increases your final score, which is what we use to determine eligibility.

You can also purchase the $50 option for additional resources developed by UT faculty to help prepare you for ALEKS and CH301.

If the deadline has passed:

A score less than 85% prohibits you from taking CH301 this semester and you will be dropped from the course.

How long is my ALEKS Chemistry score valid?

The score is valid for one semester. After that, the score expires and ALEKS Chemistry must be re-purchased and the assessment retaken.
