Freshman Admission
Eligibility for admission as a freshman is determined primarily on the basis of three predictors of academic success: high school preparation, rank in high school class, and SAT (ACT) score. Additional consideration for admission will be based on an evaluation of the additional criteria as described below.
Students enrolling with ACT/SAT scores and high school rankings below UT Tyler’s published admission criteria, and/or students enrolling as ‘liable’ or ‘not satisfied’ according to published state standards for TSI compliance, will be required to participate in the PASSages (Patriot Academic Success Services) Program during their first semester of enrollment.
Freshman Orientation
All freshmen graduating from high-school or transfer students transferring less than 30 semester credit hours are required to complete Orientation prior to registering for classes. Freshmen are required to attend an on-campus Orientation session. The program gives students the opportunity to meet with an academic advisor and register for classes, as well as learn about campus services, resources, and student activities.
