US Graduate Admission-How to Apply

  • Complete the ApplyTexas online application
    This is the fastest, easiest way for you to submit your application and is our preferred method for receiving applications.
  • Pay your application fee
    You can pay by Visa or MasterCard when you fill out your online application. Alternately, you may mail in your fee payment in the form of a check or money order in U.S. dollars to:

    Graduate and International Admissions Center
    The University of Texas at Austin
    P.O. Box 7608
    Austin, Texas 78713-7608

    Write your Application ID number (six digit), UT EID, or SSN (nine digit) on your check or money order.

    The application processing fee for U.S. applicants for all programs other than those involving the Graduate School of Business is $50. The fee for the Master in Professional Accounting program is $80. The fee for the MBA program and Dual Degree programs with MBA as a part of that program is $125. Some U.S. or permanent resident applicants to the Graduate School may be eligible for a waiver of the application fee on the basis of documented financial need.

    If you are a current or former UT Austin student, add $10 to the above stated fees to cover the cost of your UT transcripts and duplicating your academic record. Do not order transcripts directly from the UT registrar as this will slow processing considerably.

    Your application will not be processed unless the fee has been paid. 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 notarized ones) are NOT considered official. Transcripts are not required from junior colleges and community colleges.

    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. Transcripts must have been produced by the sending institution within the past calendar year.

    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.
  • Submit an official test score to GIAC
    Check with the program to which you are applying to see which test you should take. Plan to take the GRE or GMAT in time to have the results reported to UT Austin before the recommended application date. To be considered official, scores must be sent directly from the testing agency. Test scores more than five years old will not be accepted. NOTE: Some programs do not require a test score to be considered for admission. Check with the program to which you are applying.

    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.
  • BE SURE TO CONTACT THE PROGRAM TO WHICH YOU ARE APPLYING
    Most programs have additional requirements and application materials that you must complete before they will consider your application for admission. Deadlines are set by individual graduate programs. Click here for a list of graduate programs.

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.
