  3. Submit Your Housing Contract

    Freshman: If you have already applied for housing, once you satisfy your enrollment deposit, you will be eligible to receive a housing contract beginning March 1. Contracts are awarded depending on the order in which the housing applications were received.

    Transfer: Contracts are not offered to transfer students until June – August, since 70% of on-campus housing is reserved for freshmen.

  3. International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)

    • The university’s International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) offers information, services and programs to admitted and enrolled students who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. Whether you come to Austin from your home country or from a school or university in the United States, you should become familiar with ISSS and its services.
    • One of the things ISSS will do is send you important information about immigration requirements and regulations. If you reside outside the United States, you must apply for a student visa to enter the country. After you submit the required evidence of financial support to ISSS, the appropriate immigration document (I-20 or DS-2019) will be sent to you.
