Students who take the placement test through UMTYMP and are offered a space in an UMTYMP math course for the following school year will receive high school credits towards graduation. Consistent with district policy, UMTYMP courses completed while in middle school will be a part of a student’s transcript but will not be calculated as a part of their high school Grade Point Average.
In a traditional year, UMTYMP placement tests generally start in February. However, placement tests are currently postponed until further notice. They have created a Google Form that allows you to request to receive further information when placement testing schedules become available.
