Purpose:
Off-site provisional admission program policy applicable to U. T.
Austin
Date Approved:
November
16, 2000
Background:
On November 16, 2000, the Board approved a revision to the Provisional Admission Policy for The University of Texas at Austin which allows for an Off-Site Provisional Admission Program as set out below. The revised Program will be evaluated at the end of the third year. Students who meet the conditions of the Provisional Admission Program are guaranteed admission to The University of Texas at Austin in the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Natural Sciences. This does not preclude students from competing for a space in the major of their choice should they wish to do so either upon entry or after arriving on campus.
The current Provisional Admission Program is redesigned and moved, effective Summer 2001, to The University of Texas at Arlington and other interested U. T. general academic institutions.
Fall freshman applicants, who are not offered Fall admission or admission to the newly proposed Summer Enrollment Plan will be offered admission through the Off-Site Provisional Admission Program. Upon completion of a required 30-credit sequence of courses and the maintenance of at least a 3.0 GPA, these students will be accepted unconditionally into the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Natural Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. They may also compete for admission into the major of their choice once they arrive on campus. Should they fail to attain the required credits and GPA within their first year at U. T. Arlington, they would no longer be eligible for automatic admission and would compete for admission to U. T. Austin as regular transfer students.
