Details for Non-UT students

The following information gives more details on various elements of the process for non-UT students.

Advising

Interested students should contact the appropriate UT Austin Study Abroad Office Advisor as soon as possible to express interest. Likewise, students should be working with a Study Abroad Advisor, Academic Advisor as well as a Financial Aid Advisor on their home campus.

Transfer of Credit

All students will receive an official UT Austin transcript upon completion of the program. Students must discuss transferablity with their home institution. Grades of A - F are applicable to the program offerings.

Acceptance

Once accepted for a UT Program or UT Exchange students must fill out acceptance forms and mail them in to their Abroad Advisor at the Study Abroad Office. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of program participation and loss of the $50 application fee.

Expected Expenses

All students will pay a $50 application fee to UT/SAO, a Non UT Student Program Fee that is equal to the current rate of UT tuition (in-state or out-of-state, as applicable) and other costs associated with traveling to and living in a foreign country.

Registration

All Non UT Students are given a special admission status to UT and are registered at UT while abroad. Either the UT Study Abroad Office or the Program Sponsoring department will facilitate the actual registration. When participating in a Reciprocal Exchange Program or TASSEP Exchange Program registration for the actual courses will take place abroad.

Passport

All students must have a valid passport. For information on obtaining or renewing your passport click here. We prefer you to have one as soon as possible as visa regulations world-wide are become more difficult.
