While on campus for the Admitted Longhorn Round Up, we encourage you to also participate in the additional activities offered during Explore UT—“the biggest open house in Texas.”

Explore UT is a day-long, campus-wide program filled with fun, free activities for the entire family. Many colleges on campus offers activities, demonstrations, lectures, tours or events that offer attendees a glimpse into what happens behind the walls of the colleges on campus. Several schools and colleges, including Architecture, Communication, Business, Liberal Arts, Education and Engineering, have events designed for prospective and incoming students.

While registration is required for Admitted Longhorn Round Up, there is no registration required for Explore UT. Learn more about Explore UT activities, plan your schedule and locate places to eat while on campus on the Explore UT web site.
