Math Placement Exams
Math Placement Exams are now mandatory at UK for all new students unless they have a 27 ACT math subscore or a 620 SAT math subscore on file at UK (All students in the College of Engineering are required to take the Math Placement Exam). The exam is online and consists of 20 multiple choice questions. The exam scores will be used in conjunction with your ACT, SAT, AP, and IB Math scores to determine which level of Math you should take.

If You Wish to Change Your Major
If you wish to change your major, you must do so prior to your Summer Advising Conference. The conferences do have a maximum capacity for each college and therefore major changes are restricted at the conference and if you choose to change, you may be instructed to return for a later conference. To change your major, please send an email to advconf@uky.edu with your full name, student ID number, birthday and new major request. Your request will be reviewed by your UK Admissions Officer and they will be in contact regarding if the change was successful. To research the different majors that UK offers, please see this page.
