What's new

New Academic Q-Drop System. Beginning fall 2024, undergraduate students may submit requests for academic Q-Drops electronically through the new Academic Q-Drop System. The Q-Drops section of the The Add/Drop a Course webpage has been updated with new information, and a brand new Academic Q-Drops webpage has been created to help students make informed decisions and provide access to the new system. 

Academic Q-Drop, Pass/Fail and Withdrawal Deadline Changes. In accordance with new faculty legislation, beginning Fall 2024 the academic Q-Drop, Pass/Fail and Withdrawal deadline for undergraduate students will now be 9 class days prior to the last class day of the term (fall and spring only). The Academic Calendar and General Information Catalog (GIC) have been updated to reflect these new deadlines. For the 2024-2025 academic year the Q-Drop, Pass/Fail and Withdrawal deadlines will be:  

• Fall 2024 – November 20

Beginning fall 2022, the academic calendar has been modified to better meet educational needs, support immediate and long-term innovation, and support our academic mission, while ensuring compliance with university guidelines and federal and state regulations. Changes include:

• A new semester model, with two designated subterms in the fall and spring semesters
• New start dates for the fall and spring terms
• An extended fall break
• An earlier end date for the spring semester
• A reduced final exam schedule

​You can view the 2024-2025 academic calendar here. Learn more about the academic calendar changes and view a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the Changes to the Academic Calendar webpage. 

Beginning in fall 2021, all students will sign a Financial Responsibility Statement before registering for classes. The goal of the Statement is to be transparent and help you fully understand your role and financial obligation when attending UT Austin. By signing, you acknowledge your responsibility to pay tuition and fees by the payment due date and if you receive financial aid and scholarships, those resources will apply to your tuition. The Financial Responsibility Statement for the spring 2025 semester is now available for you to review and sign here.

Don’t forget to use the UT Planner!  The UT Planner, an online class schedule planning tool for students, was implemented a few years back for all students to utilize and now shows mode of instruction!  The planner allows students to search for, create, and save a variety of personalized schedule options based on their preferred courses and scheduling breaks. Additionally, the UT Planner gives students the ability to compare up to four schedule options at a time based on their availability during the day.

The UT Planner is a planning tool only, and students must still register at their designated registration times via the online registration system.
