GETTING STARTED
We look forward to your time in Austin! The information below will help with all of UT's administrative needs.
There are multiple processes that will be happening at the same time including (1) assignment to UT Austin, (2) submission of visa information, (3) scheduling and processing courses to be taught at UT Austin. And, of course, you’ll need a place to live!
EID
Your Electronic Identification (EID) is a code that is provided by UT Austin. It will be used as your primary source of id when you log into the UT system for your classes as well as many other sites.
Please click here to be directed to a page at UT that will ask you for information to create a new EID.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep the password information that you will create. You will need your EID and password to log into almost every UT system before you arrive and during your time in Austin.

Reference Letters
UT Austin requires three letters of recommendation. Letters should be e-mailed directly from the referee to CES so please ask your referee to e-mail them to ces@austin.utexas.edu . We will ask for the names of your three referees in the Information Survey mentioned above so that we can watch out for those e-mails.
