It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of registration deadlines and requirements. Spring 2018 deadlines.

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).
Students also have to register for the summer if they are receiving a fellowship from the Graduate School or Cockrell School of Engineering, unless they are going on a department-approved internship.
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.
The UT Board of Regents requires that international students on F-1 and J-1 visas be covered by health insurance; therefore, international students receive automatic charges for health insurance on their tuition and fee bills. Students may request an insurance waiver if they are covered by an alternative insurance policy that meets the basic requirements of the UT Health Insurance Plan.
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.
Once students have registered and completed their waivers, everyone must view their tuition bill.
Registration is not complete until this bill is paid and students click the [CONFIRM ATTENDANCE] button in the tuition bill screen.
If students do not confirm attendance by the registration deadline, their registration will be cancelled and they will have to pay late registration fees to re-register. Attendance is confirmed when “your registration is complete” appears in the tuition bill screen.
