Students register for classes through the Registrar’s website during their assigned access periods every semester: http://registrar.utexas.edu/students/registration
It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of registration deadlines and requirements. Fall 2017 deadlines are available here: https://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules/179/whentoregister
Course Loads
Full-time registration for graduate students is 9 hours in fall, 9 hours in spring, 3 hours in summer. Students are not required to register in the summer to maintain full-time student status, but must register if they are receiving a Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) or Teaching Assistantship (TA).
...
GRAs and TAs should request an employment tuition waiver every semester they are appointed as a GRA/TA. This will waive the out-of-state portion of their tuition bill for that semester, based on their employment status: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/acct/fb/waivers/rte_request.WBX
International Health Insurance Waivers
...
Students with GRA or TA assignments receive employee health insurance, which meets these basic requirements, and can apply for a waiver of the international health insurance fees online:https://utdirect.utexas.edu/isss/waive_insurance.WBX
Confirming Attendance
Once students have registered and completed their waivers, everyone must view their tuition bill: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/acct/fb/my_tuition/my_tuition_home.WBX
Registration is not complete until this bill is paid and students click the [CONFIRM ATTENDANCE] button in the tuition bill screen.
