A UT Austin campus visit session consists of all three of the following activities.

• Freshman Admissions Information Session: We provide separate information sessions for admitted students and prospective students.
  
  - Info sessions for admitted students: An admissions counselor will answer your questions and discuss next steps for admitted students including paying the enrollment deposit, summer orientation, on-campus housing, placement testing, completing the financial aid process, and more!
  - Info sessions for prospective students: An admissions counselor will give students the inside scoop on UT Austin and answer questions about the university, why students choose UT Austin, admissions requirements, the application process, on-campus housing, honors programs,  financial aid, testing, and other important issues for prospective students and their families.
  
• Student Q&A: Current UT Austin students will answer questions about what life is really like on the Forty Acres and how to succeed in college. Come prepared with questions.
• Campus Walking Tour: Student-guided walking tours of campus for prospective students and families begin at the Freshman Admissions Center (John Hargis Hall). Given from the unique perspective of a current student, this is one of the best ways to get a feel for campus. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes; visitors will walk about one mile on the tour.

The admissions information session and student Q&A are held in the Freshman Admissions Center in John Hargis Hall (JHH). The campus walking tour begins at the Freshman Admissions Center and ends on campus. The entire campus visit session lasts approximately two hours and fifteen minutes.

Prospective students or members of their family who require special mobility assistance should contact the Freshman Admissions Center at 512-475-7439 after registering for a campus visit online.

Some colleges, schools and programs (like honors programs) offer information sessions, the chance to sit in on classes, and building tours for prospective students and their families. As most of these sessions are not offered each day, you may want to choose a scheduled academic session and plan the rest of your day on campus around that activity.

You’ll be able to sign up for most of these information sessions when you register online for a campus visit. Some sessions and meetings require individual appointments.

If you don't see a session listed below for a college or major you're interested, check with the individual department(s) to find out if they offer special sessions. You may also call the Freshman Admissions Center at 512-475-7440 for more information.
