  1. Copy of Transcripts - may be unofficial

In addition, you must submit your on-line application to the Graduate Admissions Office by January 5 so that our committee will have access to them for review.

  • When you complete the "References" portion of the online application for admission, you will give the names and email addresses of those you have asked to recommend you. Be sure that the email address is current and accurate.
  • You will be asked to inform us if you are going to waive the right to view your letters after they are submitted. Please indicate this by answering the associated question on the application for admission.
  • We will send an e-mail message to the address you provide and ask your recommender to visit a web site where they can complete a questionnaire.
  • Your recommender will be informed if you have not waived your right to view his/her letter of recommendation.
  • If you make a mistake on the email address or if you need to replace one recommender with another please contact Marla Boye at marla.boye@austin.utexas.edu.
