Registration and Overrides – UH Mānoa Mathematics

Boot Camps 2025

Enlist in one or both of our FREE, IN-PERSON Math Boot Camps! The UH Manoa Department of Mathematics will conduct intensive non-credit courses for students who want to review the algebra and trigonometry concepts needed to prepare for the MATH placement exam. Led by two department Graduate Assistants in each Boot Camp course, students will strengthen their math skills through short lectures, group work, and practice problems.

These courses are designed for students who want to bridge their high school and college math courses with a review, want to revisit math concepts prior to taking the math placement exam, or who have already taken the math placement exam but want to place higher on the exam* by reviewing concepts and taking the placement exam again.

There are two Camps, both offered at no cost:
Boot Camp for College Algebra, for those who desire an algebra refresher, on August 4-7, 2025 from 10am – 3pm, including a lunch break. Lunch will not be provided, so please bring your own “brown bag” lunch. Room: KELLER HALL 303.
Boot Camp for Trigonometry, for those who seek to brush up on trigonometry, on August 11-14, 2025 from 10 am – 3:00 pm, including a lunch break. Lunch will not be provided, so please bring your own “brown bag” lunch. Room: KELLER HALL 303.

To Register for our Algebra Boot Camp, please complete our Algebra Boot Camp Google Form. To register for our Trigonometry Boot Camp, please complete our Trigonometry Boot Camp Google Form. University of Hawai`i email address is required to complete the Google Form(s). If you would like to register for both Boot Camps, you must complete both of the Google Forms. Registration REQUIRED to attend the Boot Camp(s). Registration Form(s) due Friday, August 1, 2025 by 12 noon Hawaii Standard Time.

Placement Exam

The Math Department requires an exam for placement in many courses. Based on your exam results, the department will enter a BMAT score into your Banner student record. Your BMAT score
determines the classes in which you are allowed to register and stays valid for one year. The exam is given in two parts, each with a 30 minute time limit, and your combined results on each part
determine your BMAT score. Both parts of the exam must be taken in the same session, and you must pass Part 1 in order to take Part 2. You may only take the exam one time per exam window – see the Repeat Policy below for additional details. Taking our Practice Exams to prepare is strongly encouraged. The exam may be taken
on campus, remotely in person at an NCTA approved testing center, or online through proctorU.
