(U.S. $75.00) for all majors except MBA (B16100), MBA Option II (B16105),
and graduate dual degree programs with the Graduate School of Business,
for which the application processing fee is $125.00. The application

orders, bank drafts in U.S. dollars drawn on U.S. banks, or payment
by Visa or MasterCard credit card will be accepted.
Your application will not be processed unless the fee has been paid.
The fee must accompany the application for admission to avoid a delay
in processing. The application fee is NOT refundable.
- Submit official transcripts to GIAC
Mail your official transcripts to:
Graduate and International Admissions Center
The University of Texas at Austin
P.O. Box 7608
Austin, Texas 78713-7608
You must provide an official copy of the academic transcript from every
senior college attended. Unofficial transcripts--those that do not bear
the facsimile signature of the registrar and seal of the issuing institution--are
not acceptable. Photocopies (even ones certified by a notary public
or commissioner of oaths) are NOT considered official. Transcripts are
not required from junior colleges and community colleges.
If documents are written in a language other than English, complete
and official English translations must be provided together with the
original language records. Each transcript (mark sheet) should contain
a complete record of studies at the institution from which it is issued
(i.e., the subjects taken and grades [marks] earned in each subject).
Even if courses taken at one institution are recorded on another college's
transcript, transcripts must be submitted from the institution at which
courses were taken.
You can speed the processing of your application by having your
transcript(s) sent electronically. Institutions that are on
the Texas Electronic Transcript Network or which use the national ANSI
ASC X12 transcript format (SPEEDE) can provide electronic transcripts.
GIAC prefers to receive electronic transcripts because they can be processed
much faster than paper transcripts. Check with the registrar of your
institution to find out if transcripts can be sent electronically.
The University of Texas at Austin uses an electronic image scanning
system for the storage of transcripts. Original transcripts are not
kept once the electronic image has been created. If you would like to
have your foreign transcripts returned to you, send a self-addressed
envelope of a suitable size together with a request to return them.
This request must be made at the time of application. Postage will be
paid by the University. We will not return transcripts issued by United
States universities.
- Submit official GRE/GMAT and either the TOEFL or the Academic Examination
of the IELTS test scores to GIAC
Check with the program to which you are applying to see which test you
should take. Only test scores mailed directly from the testing agency
are considered official. Test scores are received by the University
approximately four to six weeks after a test is taken if the University
is designated as a score recipient at the time of testing.
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) code for the University of
Texas at Austin is 6882. Test scores sent to this code are made available
to all graduate departments.
There is no institutional code for the IELTS examination. Test takers
should provide the following address to have their official score sent
to UT Austin:
Graduate and International Admissions Center
The University of Texas at Austin
P.O. Box 7608
Austin, Texas 78713-7608
Tests should be taken well in advance of the appropriate application
dates to ensure that scores will arrive prior to the deadlines. Copies
of test scores are not considered official, but they may help the University
locate a student's official test scores and are therefore useful when
the application is processed. GRE and GMAT scores more than five
years old and TOEFL or IELTS scores more than two years old will not
be accepted.
Note: Application materials, including test scores and transcripts,
are kept for one calendar year. If you have made application in the past,
you may be required to re-submit certain credentials.
