INDIVIDUAL REVIEW

Students who do not meet the guaranteed admissions requirements at UTA will automatically go through the individual review process.

The individual review process involves a holistic review of academic achievements, curriculum, and other factors that support a student’s ability to succeed.

TEST SCORE OPTIONAL

UTA is currently test optional, therefore SAT and ACT scores are not required for an admissions decision. However, submitting test scores can help determine admissions decisions, testing exemptions and scholarship opportunities.

The SAT score is calculated by combining the highest evidence-based Reading, Writing, and Math score. The ACT is the composite score, which includes the English, Reading, Math, and Science sections.

If you have taken the SAT or ACT and would like your scores to be included in the evaluation of your application, please have your scores sent electronically to UTA’s Admissions Office.

International Admissions Forms

Cost of Attendance & Visa Requirements

The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service requires that you show proof that adequate resources are available to meet your first year of educational and living expenses. Before an I-20 can be issued, a financial statement form must be completed and returned with the indicated documentation. Financial documents may be submitted online. If you are already studying in the U.S. on an F-1 (student) visa, you must establish transfer eligibility by submitting a school transfer notification before UTA initiates the transfer.
