1. Attend Virtual Group Advising and Complete a Degree Plan Request Form

As a newly admitted student, you'll receive a degree plan and course suggestions after submitting a Degree Plan Request Form and attending a virtual group advising session. Group advising will cover your major education, degree requirements, how to read your degree plan, and registration. Registration opens on November 20th, so attend advising early to register on time, ideally before New Maverick Orientation. See the links below for more details by college.

3. Submit official Transcripts and Test scores

Do not assume that your high school has sent your official documents to UTA. If you earned credits while in high school or previously attended another college/university, it is your responsibility to request for an official transcript to be sent to UTA at least two weeks before virtual group advising.

Test credit (such as AP, IB, CLEP, and AVANT) must be sent to UTA by CollegeBoard, the IB Organization, or AVANT. You will need to log into your account and submit a request for scores to be sent to UTA.
Failure to do so may result in your advisor developing an inaccurate transitions plan and list of suggested courses for you.

4. Satisfy TSI Requirements

Per Texas law, TSI-Liable students cannot register for classes. Therefore, students cannot be advised until they become TSI-Not Complete or TSI-Complete.

Follow the instructions you receive from TSI@uta.edu.
Direct TSI-related questions to TSI@uta.edu.
UTA's TSI website explains the TSI process, exemptions, how to register for TSI, and more.

5. Take the ALEKS Math Assessment

The following colleges/majors require TSI-Complete students to take the ALEKS math assessment:

College of Engineering (except construction management majors)

College of Science (B.S. degrees)

Architecture majors

Business majors with prior credit for MATH 1301 (contemporary math) that need to take MATH 1316

ALEKS is separate from TSI and determines math placement. You can retake ALEKS up to 5 times for free to qualify for a higher-level course. Even if waiting on AP/IB scores, take ALEKS now to avoid delays in registration and ensure course availability.

6. Register for Classes

You will receive an individualized degree plan and list of suggested courses via UTA e-mail within 3 business days of attending virtual group advising and completing a Degree Plan Request Form.

7. Submit Meningitis Documentation

All students under the age of 22 are required to be immunized against bacterial meningitis before they enroll at UTA. You can submit your documents to Admissions, Records, and Registration. Click HERE to learn more about the meningitis vaccination requirement.

8. Attend New Maverick Orientation

New Maverick Orientation is key to every new student's successful transition to UTA.

Select your orientation date and register family/guests to attend along with you.

9. Submit Your Final High School Transcript

Don't forget to submit an official final high school transcript with your graduation date to the Office of Admissions. The fastest method is electronically--sent directly from your school. If you are asked for an email address, use records@uta.edu. However, we will accept transcripts by mail or in person. We must have your official transcript by the 12th class day of your first semester at UTA.
