This calculus pre-requisite requirement ensures that students are academically prepared for the rigor of UT math courses by testing their calculus knowledge and abilities.

Results are valid for two long semesters (Fall/Spring) if taken in the summer. Fall results are valid until the Spring semester.

After that semester, your results will expire, and if the UT Math Assessment is required for a course you wish to register for in a subsequent semester, you will need to take the assessment again.

The UT Math Assessment is exclusively for calculus courses taken at The University of Texas at Austin.
