Most new freshmen are required to take placement tests before registering for classes. Students who do not take the required tests before attending orientation are given the opportunity to take them during freshman summer orientation sessions. Placement tests are also offered prior to spring, summer and fall registration. You’ll find information about registering for tests on the New Student Services Web site.

Information about test fees is available from DIIA/Student Testing Services.

If you took the SAT Subject Tests in Mathematics Level 1 or Level 2 through the College Board, be sure to request that the scores be sent to UT Austin (code 6882). If you took the tests at a College Board test center and you want to try to improve your scores, you may take them again at UT Austin. UT Austin will accept the highest scores.

New Student Services invites family members of new UT Austin freshmen to participate in Family Orientation. Registration is required for this program. Family Orientation is offered the first day of each freshman orientation session.

Students needing special arrangements or accommodations because of a documented disability can find information about services offered through Services for Students with Disabilities web site.
