We are planning to hold three rounds of entrance exam tests in Rochester this year.  All exams are in-person, on the UMR campus.

Round 1 is scheduled for Saturday, 2/12/22, at 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:00pm

Round 2 is scheduled for Saturday, 4/9/22, at 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:00pm

Registration for each exam closes at noon on the preceding Wedensday (2/9, 4/6, and 5/18).

Students may take the qualifying exam a maximum of two times per year.  Students who test in February can retest in April if they are not admitted after Round 1.  Students who test in April can retest in May if they are not admitted after Round 2.  Students may not take both the February and May exams.

This year everybody who signs up for the entrance exam will have access to a University website with practice problems, and information about where to go for the test, and what to bring.

Please contact Professor Bright (brigh042@r.umn.edu) if you have questions about the Rochester site, COVID policies during the Rochester exam.  You can also check the Rochester UMTYMP page, which has links in the UMTYMP Admission section for Town Hall informational meetings at 9am on January 29th and March 26th.

Please be aware that the current plan is for all UMTYMP courses to be on campus next year (2022-23), but it is too early to know if any COVID-19 protocols will still be in place.  If your student qualifies for UMTYMP algebra this year but you are not comfortable sending them to class, you can defer admission for a year.  (A student must start UMTYMP algebra by 8th grade if they want to complete our entire 5-year sequence of courses.)

To access the registration system, click the appropriate button below and follow the on-screen directions.  Please make sure to register using an account for the parent/guardian; as part of the registration process you will be asked for information about the student.  Because the parent/guardian is registering and paying the fee, the email receipt will have their name, and not the student's name.  This is normal, and we will use the student's name for the exam itself.

Please note:  If you are registering more than one student, you will need to use a different account (and different email address) for each.
