:: Back to School with University Extension

Going Back to School

If you got sidetracked from college, University Extension (UEX) offers top-quality classes, which are taken directly from UT Austin’s course inventory and are often taught by the same faculty.

UEX does not offer degrees. But UEX does offer you an opportunity to take UT Austin courses and certificate programs without having to go through the admissions process. UEX courses will transfer to almost all colleges and universities, and the credit earned appears on a UT Austin transcript.

Advising is available year round for anyone interested in taking advantage of UEX course options. Our advisor is familiar with the concerns of those returning to school, and he can guide you through the process of deciding where to start.

Classroom Courses

UEX classroom courses are semester-based and begin mid-January, early June, and late August/early September. Classes meet after 5 p.m. on the main UT Austin campus.
