DIVISION OF STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
While the Division of Student Success focuses on assisting first time in college students as they transition to college, our programs and services serve all students who seek academic support during their career at UT Arlington.
- University Studies is designed for students who have investigated different majors and now want to utilize the courses already taken to complete a bachelor’s degree in a timely manner.
- University Advising and Engagement Center advises all incoming first year students (up to 30 credit hours) as well as undeclared and conditionally admitted transfer students. Academic advisors also guide students in the majors exploration process.
- First-time-in-college students enroll in UNIV 1131 (or equivalent option as determined by faculty in the student's intended major). This first year seminar matches students with others who share their academic interests and majors. UNIV 1131 focuses on academic skill building, student success strategies, and major exploration. Students who live on campus may choose to join a Residential Learning Community, which offers programming in the residence hall.
- Transfer Students enroll in UNIV 1101 (or equivalent option as determined by faculty in the student's intended major). This course matches students with others who share their academic interests and majors. This transfer seminar focuses on enhancing academic skills and engaging students in experiential learning opportunities that will lead to professional skill building.
- Academic Testing and TSI Services help students identify tests they may want to take for undergraduate admission or graduate admission or credit by examination. Some academic departments at UTA require tests prior to registration to place students in an appropriate course and/or toward college credit by examination.
- Testing times vary for each exam offered by the Academic Testing Center. No walk-ins are allowed.
