What is the UNT Canvas Math Placement Test?

The UNT Department of Mathematics wants students to succeed and understands that students do best when they have a suitable background for each course. The purpose of the math placement test is to determine the appropriate first math course for each undergraduate student. The Mathematics Department enforces prerequisites for mathematics courses and monitors them closely so before enrolling in one of these courses, you may need to place with the test or show proof of a prerequisite course with a C or better. Please note that you also must be compliant with the math portion of the TSI (Texas Success Iniative), which is an entry level requirement, before you take the placement test.

If you need accommodation due to a disability to fully participate in this program/event, please contact Tonya King, Department of Mathematics via email at Tonya.King@unt.edu. Please allow sufficient time to arrange the accommodation.
