Academic Advising Checklist for New Freshmen

You did it! Take a moment to be proud of what you’ve accomplished! After all, your admission places you among the very best students in the world.

  • Log in into your MyMav account
  • Click on the Admissions tile
  • Select "Application Status"
  • Choose "Accept"

If you earned credits while in high school or previously attended another college/university, you must submit a request to the other college/university for an official transcript to be sent to UTA admissions for processing. Please request transcripts at least two weeks before your orientation date.

  • AP/IB/CLEP scores must be sent to UTA admission by CollegeBoard and/ or the IB Organization.
  • Once loaded into MyMav, you will need to speak with an advisor about Petitioning for Credit, which is the process to have them formally applied to your transcript.
  • This will be covered in more detail during group advising.
  • Failure to submit official transcripts and test scores may result in your advisor developing an inaccurate degree plan and list of suggested courses.
  • TSI is a separate department. Per Texas law, TSI-liable students cannot register for classes. Please follow the guidance you received to satisfy your TSI requirement. If you are TSI Liable or TSI Not Complete and have not received guidance regarding TSI, please email TSI@uta.edu (include your 10-digit UTA ID number).
  • Please direct TSI-related questions to TSI@uta.edu.
  • Click HERE to access UTA's TSI website and learn more about the process, exemptions, how to register for the TSI assessment, and more.

The following colleges/majors require the ALEKS math assessment:

  • College of Engineering
  • College of Science
  • Architecture majors

ALEKS scores will impact your schedule and ability to register for classes, so take the test carefully and seriously. Keep in mind that not having ALEKS scores on file will prevent you from enrolling in some courses. You should take ALEKS at least two weeks before your virtual group advising session. This will allow enough time for your score to be loaded into MyMav. Please note that ALEKS is a separate assessment from the TSI test. Additionally, ALEKS is required for domestic and international students.

The best part about ALEKS is that if you score lower than expected, you can take modules based on your specific pattern of wrong answers. After you complete the modules, you can retake ALEKS and see if you qualify for a higher-level math course.  You can take ALEKS up to 5 times. Keep in mind that your pathway to graduation will look different depending on if you place into College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, or Calculus. It may also take you longer to graduate, which is completely fine. Your ALEKS score impacts non-math courses as well, as your math foundation can impact your other major courses.

If you are waiting on AP/IB scores, you should take ALEKS anyway.  Waiting until July to take ALEKS will only further delay your registration process and put you at risk for not getting the classes you need this fall—especially if you don’t score as high as you’d’ like to.

As your orientation date approaches, you will receive an email from the UAC regarding how to register for a Virtual Group Advising Session. These pre-orientation sessions are extremely important, as they allow you to register for classes, ask questions, and get major related information before your New Maverick Orientation. 

  • The ideal time to complete your session is a week before your orientation. This gives you the opportunity to process all the information and come prepared for orientation.

UAC GRAD

It's the moment you've been waiting for. It's time to register for classes!

If you wish/need to enroll full-time in the fall, you should register for at least 12 credit hours. Generally speaking, students who earn 30 credit hours per year are on track to graduate in four-years

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.

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.
