The UT MAth Assessment (UTMA)
&
The math readiness package
(For new, incoming Students)
The UT Math Assessment (UTMA) is a proctored, one hour, online exam that determines calculus & pre-calculus course placement.
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 score 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.
