 A Message from
the Dean of Students
Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly
Senior Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students

Welcome to The University of Texas at Austin and the Longhorn community! You and your family have worked
hard and you have now deservingly arrived on the 40 Acres. Reflecting on my own college orientation years
ago, I imagine the questions racing through your minds. Will I earn a high GPA? Will I make new friends? Will
the professors know my name? Will I fit in? Orientation is designed to answer these questions as well as serve as a platform for you
to register for classes and jumpstart the Longhorn experience.

Today represents one more step in your process of discovery, responsibility and higher learning. The university is a comprehensive,
diverse place filled with countless intellectual, social, leadership and research opportunities. The Office of the Dean of Students (DoS)
is here to help you navigate the complexities of campus, to serve as your advocate and to guide you to many of our essential resources.

Start with this Guide filled with tips, Web addresses, phone numbers and a campus map. Next, explore deanofstudents.utexas.edu
or visit our office on the 4th floor of the Student Services Building to discover a wealth of critical information, such as who to call
should you find yourself in need. I also urge you to enter our telephone number, 512-471-5017, into your electronic address book.

The staff in the Office of the Dean of Students is resourceful and can assist with any concerns you may have. Among our primary
goals is to function as your personal UT Austin “search engine.” Finding answers to your inquiries can begin with DoS.

As you settle in at UT Austin, we encourage you to customize your success. Remember to:
deanofstudents.utexas.edu

• Accept full responsibility for your classwork; cheating is not the way of the Horns.
• Get involved. A directory of organizations and an inventory of leadership 10 Tips for Success
opportunities are available on the DoS Web site.

mitted during Summer Orientation.

ence $$$ Meal ID at Check-in. Prices

the items you select. You may use your

Freshëns. Hours of operation may vary
with each food location. Your

if you run out of Conference $$$, you
may pay with cash or credit card. The
cashiers will let you know your remain-
ing balance. There are no refunds for
unused Conference $$$, but if you
keep your Meal ID, you may use any
unspent balance through August 24,
2010, at any Housing and Food Service
location. We strongly encourage you to
spend all your Conference $$$ during
Summer Orientation.
Report lost Meal IDs at the Jester Center

on your card. Guests are welcome at
any location and can use cash or credit
cards for their purchases.

ing in the receptacles provided and

ing bins are conveniently located for
disposal of plastic bottles (remove

3. Do not rearrange tables and chairs
to block aisles and exits. Please
return tables and chairs to their
original positions when you finish
your meal.
4. Wear a shirt and shoes at all times
in the dining room.
Say Cheese!

Yearbook. Look for signs in the Jester
Center East Lobby with the times and
locations for photos.
Keys and Windows
If you lose your room key or fail to
return it during check out at the end
of your orientation session, you will be
assessed a fee of $75.

computer labs, writing assistance and
study spaces.
A $10 fee for your card will be asses-
sed and must be paid separately from
your tuition and fees. You will have 30
days from issuance to pay this $10 fee.

at www.utexas.edu/business/
accounting/sar/. Click on “What I
Owe” to view your outstanding fees.
As a new student at the university, you
need to upgrade your UT EID. This
upgrade confirms your identity to the
university computer network and allows
you to conduct electronic transactions
that would normally require a legal
signature. To upgrade your UT EID, you
must sign an acceptable use Agreement
outlining the rules and guidelines for
your Electronic Identity and be at least
eighteen years of age. By signing the
Agreement, you will be allowed access
to various services and resources that
you may need, such as Student Finan-
cial Services and course registration.
Because of the legal nature of this
Agreement, you must present a
government-issued ID with a photo such
as a driver license or passport.
Temporary driver licenses and high
school ID cards do not meet this
requirement. Please note, students
younger than 18 years old must be
accompanied by a legal guardian when
upgrading their EID. The student and
their legal guardians must present their
own government-issued identification
with a photo. The following documents
are considered acceptable government-
issued photo IDs:

or Canada
• U.S. or foreign passport
• Alien registration card with photo
(INS form I-152 or I-551)

score on the AP Examination in United
States Government and Politics. Your
CLEP score report will give only your
score on the CLEP American Government
examination. Official copies of your AP or
CLEP score must be on file with the DIIA/
STS office, before you may take the UT
Austin Test on Texas Government. Before
your eligibility for GOV 310L credit can
be determined, you must take the UT
Austin Test on Government, which is
offered only on the UT Austin campus.
Fee: $15.

Mathematics
9:30–11:30 a.m.
College Board SAT Subject Test in
Mathematics Level 1
(The SAT Subject Test in Mathematics
Level 2 score may be substituted for
the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics
Level 1.)
Note: The Math Level 1 Test requires
the use of a scientific or graphing
calculator. Calculators will not be
provided; you must bring one with
you for your use. Calculators cannot
be shared during the test.
The SAT Subject Test in Math Level 1
Test also serves as a basis for credit in
M 305G, a pre-calculus course. To be
eligible for credit by examination in
M 305G, you may not already have
a grade or grade symbol for M 305G
(or its equivalent) nor may you have
completed a college calculus course
with a grade of at least C before taking
the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics
Level 1. However, calculus credit earned
by examination does not affect your
eligibility to earn credit for M 305G by
examination. Consult the DIIA/STS if
you are uncertain about your eligibility
status. This test may be taken only
once on the UT Austin campus. Fee:
$50.
Texas Success
Initiative Office
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a
state-legislated program designed to im-
prove student success in college. There
are two components of the program:
(1) an assessment to diagnose students’
basic skills in reading, mathematics
and writing; and
(2) developmental instruction to
strengthen academic skills that need
improvement.
All students are required by law to take
an assessment test approved by the
Higher Education Coordinating Board or
prove they are exempt prior to
enrollment.
There are four tests approved by the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board: THEA, ASSET, COMPASS and
ACCUPLACER. UT Austin accepts all
four tests. If you attended a Texas public
college for dual-credit while you were in
high school or are transferring from a
Texas public college, you may have been
required to take one of the above tests.
Your scores should be listed on your
college transcript. It is your responsibility
to ask your college to send an official
transcript to UT Austin. Official test
scores also may be sent to:

attended. Our fax number is 512-232-

Longhorn Center for
Academic Excellence
The University of Texas at Austin
Division of Diversity and
Community Engagement
Founded in 1972, the Welcome Program was coordinated by
the Longhorn Center for Academic Excellence, formerly
known as the Academic Enrichment Services. With the pri-
mary goal of improving campus life for traditionally under-
represented students at The University of Texas at Austin,
the Welcome Program offers a platform for diverse student
populations to share their experiences on the Forty Acres.
In 2009, the Longhorn Center for Academic Excellence
teamed with Students for Equity and Diversity, an agency
housed in the Multicultural Information Center, to host the
2009 installment of “The Welcome Program!”
This year, the program will be sponsored solely by the
Multicultural Information Center and has taken the name,
“Steps to Success.” At this event, student organizations will
provide exciting performances that will empower students to
be successful at the university both personally and academ-
ically. Please join us after the Start Fresh Organization Fair!
