UVU offers Math Leap workshops before the Fall and Spring semesters and all summer long to prepare students for enrollment into their math class. These workshops allow students to review their math knowledge in a friendly, student-centered environment using ALEKS. The goal is to help students save time by placing them into the right math course.
The workshop begins with a pre-test that will determine the knowledge of each participant. A customized study path will then be created for each student, focusing on the areas that need the most work.
Registering for the Math Leap workshop does not waive prerequisites for registration. However, students will take a placement test on the first day which will provide an initial placement score and most students who spend 25+ hours in ALEKS during the workshop improve by at least one class.
Once registered, you will be added to Canvas. Please sign in to Canvas to find out information about your session. Sessions will be open for registration approximately one month before starting.
Students who successfully complete the workshop by taking a proctored placement test will receive a $10 gift card and will be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card.

This one-credit course is designed for students to improve their placement in math. The course meets for two hours, once a week, for half of a semester.
Math 100R is similar to the Math Leap workshop in that students work with the ALEKS program on an individualized study plan built to help the student succeed with math. The instructor for the course is on hand to guide students through the program and help students better understand the content.
Unlike the Math Leap workshops, MATH100R is a credit bearing class, and students will receive university credit for putting in the time and successfully taking a placement test at the end of the course. Grades for the course are awarded as credit/no credit. Students who do not put the work in or who fail to take the final placement test will not receive credit.
The cost for the class is included in the student's tuition.
If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can work in the ALEKS module on your own to prepare for math placement.
In order to start with an unproctored exam you will need to contact the Math Success Team.
