Policies

First-time Admission

Students who wish to apply for major status in mathematics must first complete the University and College of Science requirements and the specific requirements of the Department of Mathematics listed below.

  • Overall GPA of 2.25;
  • Minimum GPA of 2.25 in at least nine hours of mathematics courses in residence at the level of MATH 1426 or above, excluding capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle or secondary grades mathematics teachers;
  • At least six hours from the science or computer science courses listed in the mathematics degree plans; and
  • Twelve hours of courses of the University core curriculum in disciplines other than science and mathematics.

Students currently enrolled at the University may qualify to change their major to mathematics by meeting the requirements listed above.

Satisfactory Academic Standard

Majors whose overall GPA or GPA in major courses falls below 2.25 will be required to change their major.

To re-enter as a mathematics major, the student must meet the requirements listed in the First-time Admissions Requirements section.

Math Course Registration

Students may not be "pre-enrolled" in mathematics courses while prerequisite courses at another institution are pending grades. Only UT Arlington credits may be used for pre-enrollment purposes. 

Canvas grades (or other learning-management system grades) may not be used as proof of completion for a prerequisite course. Students must submit either an official transcript to the registrar's office, or submit a transcript with a letter grade for the prerequisite course to the undergraduate mathematics advisor in order to be enrolled in a mathematics course. If a student is submitting the transcript via email, the email must be sent from their UTA email address.
