• We cannot overbook sessions and crowd small, intimate seminar classes with too many visiting students. If a session date does not appear on the electronic registration site, it is full or a session is not offered that day. Please check availability and register before you make travel plans. Registration dates may be changed if necessary and an alternative date is available.
• Prospective students are enouraged to bring their parents (simply note the number of accompanying visitors at the electron registration site).
• The World Lit class is a (year-long Plan II core curriculum) course which is required of all first-year Plan II students--regardless of AP, IB or SAT II test scores or courses. This class visit often gives prospective students the best sense of what Plan II is all about.
• Make your plans early. Many sessions fill up several weeks in advance.
• Plan II does not offer individual interviews or schedule individual information sessions on days when regular sessions are not offered.

Our Plan II Honors information session agenda includes:

10:00--10:50 a.m.

• Why Plan II?  What is Plan II? Who should apply?
• What do YOU want to do? 
• Core Curriculum
• Double-Majors & Dual-Degrees   
• Evaluation Criteria   
• Housing     

11:00--11:50 a.m.

• Class Visit for prospective student

Continuation of Info session for parents:

• Study Abroad
• Test Credits (AP, SAT II, IB)
• How to Apply & Critical Deadlines
• What do you with a Plan II major?
• Plan II Student Organizations & Community

Plan II Honors discourages summer, weekend, or holiday visits as the only visit a prospective student makes to campus if he or she is interested in Plan II Honors.

Notes:

While students visit the class, parents are encouraged to stay for the second hour of the information session. We will answer all questions from students or parents.

With advance notice, we can sometimes make arrangments for a prospective students to visit another class in addition to a World Lit class, but other class visits often conflict with campus tours, other college or major information sessions or dorm tours which are an important part of the UT visit. Plan II class visits are restricted to prospective students--no family members or friends may tag along. Most of these are very small seminar-sized classes; we do not wish to disturb the class dynamic with too many visitors.

Browse the Plan II website

We encourage prospective students to visit the University of Texas campus and the Plan II Honors Program office. However, before visiting, we strongly urge prospective applicants to thoroughly browse this website. Our website contains more information than we could ever cram into a one, two-, or even three-hour information session.
