Visit our Submitting Official Documents page for more information.

You can upload supplemental documents, such as your essay, resume, letters of recommendation, fee waiver and/or residency information, through Galaxy.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept documentation in person at this time. Please ensure the seal and other indications of official documentation status remain intact. You may mail the official documentation to our office, or, in some cases, you may hold the documentation until campus resumes regular business operations. Please contact [email protected] if you have further questions.

Typically, we require new academic information for admissions reconsideration (such as a new transcript or SAT/ACT test scores). Given impacts to canceled SAT/ACT testing dates, we are working with students impacted on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us directly by emailing [email protected] if you have questions about your reconsideration request.

UT Dallas has approved a temporary exception to our standard transfer policy for Spring 2020 coursework. Courses that received a passing grade (in courses graded with a pass/fail or equivalent grading notation) during the Spring 2020 semester, according to their institution’s official transcript or catalog definition, will be awarded credit at The University of Texas at Dallas. Coursework that is accepted for transfer credit is applicable toward satisfying requirements for a specific UT Dallas major according to the same criteria as those used for equivalent UT Dallas courses. Additional information regarding transfer credit can be found in the UT Dallas undergraduate catalog.
