ALEKS Placement Testing

Use the link below to request an in-person ALEKS Placement Test. This link is for all incoming and current UML students who are required to take the placement test.

Incoming UMass Lowell Students

This link should be used by any incoming student who needs to take the ALEKS Placement Test, whether it is your first or second attempt. If this is your second attempt, you must complete all assigned learning modules in your ALEKS account before scheduling another test.

Please make sure you have completed all required steps before requesting your ALEKS Placement Test.

Current UMass Lowell Students

ALEKS scores expire after one year. Current UML students are allowed one new ALEKS attempt per year, and all new attempts must be completed in person in the Math and Statistics Department.

Please note:

  • ALEKS scores expire at the end of the academic year.
  • You may sign up for an available testing date after you have completed your math final exam.
  • Students who do not have a math final exam may sign up during the week before finals week.
  • There is no in-person ALEKS testing during finals week.

Please plan accordingly when scheduling your ALEKS attempt.

If you have any questions, please email mathematics@uml.edu.
