Congratulations on pursuing your graduate studies at UT Dallas. To help you get off to a good, strong start, Student Life and the Office of Graduate Studies will provide you with information to help answer any questions you have about the University.
Because you have attended one or more colleges or universities before, you may have noticed that each institution has policies, procedures, and services that are unique. Therefore, we encourage you to attend Graduate Student Orientation to learn more about UT Dallas.
Additional information is available through the UTD Graduate Catalog, Class Schedule and Graduate Student Guide.
