ALEKS Sign Up

NOTICE: NEW INCOMING STUDENTS for Spring 2027 – Students with SAT/ACT/AP scores will be placed on the basis of those scores and will not take ALEKS. If you do not have SAT/ACT/AP scores or transfer credit in a math course, you will be required to take ALEKS. For full details, see our webpage. Remotely proctored ALEKS will be available from September 15 until October 18. Be sure to check your Road-to-UM checklist in your application portal for relevant deadlines.
CONTINUING and TRANSFER STUDENTS – Effective May 1, 2026 – If you are a continuing student (including fall 2026 admits) or a transfer student who has not taken ALEKS and you have not completed any college-level math course, you may take only ON-CAMPUS proctored ALEKS.

Sign Up for ALEKS

Only students who have been instructed or invited to take ALEKS will be permitted to sit for the on-campus proctored ALEKS. If you are not approved to take ALEKS, DO NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT as the scores will not be entered into CaneLink and they will not affect your placement.

Practice ALEKS is not available for students required to take ALEKS on campus. Students taking on-campus ALEKS will have 3 proctored attempts. When you attend your scheduled appointment, you will receive the link from the proctor, so you can access the current ALEKS cohort. The first attempt is a base-line assessment. If you are satisfied with the score, it can be used for placement. If you are not satisfied with your score, you will have two more proctored attempts on-campus. After your first attempt, you will be able to access the modules within ALEKS for extra practice using the link you received at the session. The third attempt requires 5 hours in the modules before it is available to you, so plan accordingly.
