How do I register for orientation if I’m an international student (non-U.S. citizen, non-permanent resident)?
If you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident upon admission to UT Austin, you are classified as an international student. You will need to complete the requirements listed below as a part of your orientation process. You will not be able to register for classes until you have completed these tasks:
- Register and participate in your required University orientation.
- Complete the check-in process with Texas Global BEFORE your required University orientation.
- Satisfy the immunization requirements. Click here to learn more about requirements for international students.
If interested, attend the optional International Student Orientation. This is in addition to your required University orientation. Click here to learn more.
