Academic qualification equivalents
Please be advised that UTA is test score optional for admission through summer 2023. If you apply for admission without these test scores your application will be evaluated based on high school records such as GPA, class rank, courses taken and other relevant criteria. However, test scores can help in determining admissions decisions and scholarship opportunities.
NON-TRADITIONAL SECONDARY EDUCATION (NON-RANKING HIGH SCHOOLS, HOMESCHOOL & GED)
In accordance with Texas Senate Bill 1543, if you present evidence of the completion of a nontraditional secondary education without an official class rank, UTA will assign a class rank for you. This assigned class rank will be comparable to the average class rank of other applicants with equivalent SAT or ACT scores. Once the rank has been assigned, students must meet requirements above. UTA requires official transcript or proof of GED to show completion of a non traditional secondary degree.
