The University of Texas at Austin

If you’re offered admission to UT Austin and decide to accept your offer, you’ll need to take a couple of steps to make your admission official.

Making your admission official

Pay your enrollment deposit (summer and fall only)

To secure your spot in the incoming class, you’ll need to pay your $200 enrollment deposit or have an official deposit waiver approved by the deadline shown on your online Application Status page. Your enrollment deposit will be applied to your first semester’s Tuition and Fees, and the deposit is not refundable after May 1.

Students admitted for spring aren’t required to pay an enrollment deposit.

Upgrade your UT EID password

Now that you’re admitted to UT Austin, you’re required to upgrade your UT EID password so that it is more secure.

You’ll continue to use your UT EID and password to access important online services on My Be a Longhorn as you complete your transition from high school to the university. You can pay your enrollment deposit, complete your on-campus housing contract, check your financial aid package and more by logging in to your personal page, My Be a Longhorn, with your UT EID and password.

Submit final transcripts

As soon as possible after you graduate, we need to receive your final, official high school transcript. You or your high school counselor should submit your transcript to us by mail.

We’ll use your transcript information to confirm your date of graduation and successful completion of the necessary high school credits. (Failure to graduate will result in withdrawal of your admission offer, and a significant drop in your grades may result in withdrawal of your admission offer.)

Although not required to complete your admission, if you complete any college work before enrolling at UT Austin, you should also have the college you attend(ed) submit official transcripts of your work by mail.

Complete Other Processes

In addition to completing the steps to accept your admission, you’ll also want to make certain that you keep on top of related tasks and processes. You’ll need to see about orientation, financial aid, housing, and testing. After you’re admitted, it’s also a good idea to become familiar with the numerous resources and services that support admitted and enrolled students.

Immunization and Medical Clearance Requirements

Immunization form

Admitted students should complete and return a University Health Services (UHS) Pre-Matriculation Immunization Form before they register for classes. The form will be mailed to you shortly after you are admitted.) For domestic students, these requirements include proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella.

Medical clearance for students born outside the U.S.

Students born outside the U.S. must also provide proof of a PPD tuberculosis skin test performed in the US within a specified time period. UHS recommends that students also be immunized against tetanus/diphtheria, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, and varicella (chickenpox).

International Students

To prepare for enrollment, international students must complete some additional steps such as international student “check-in” and orientation, seeing about immigration issues, and dealing with issues relating to residency status for international Texans.
