Appeals

You may submit an appeal in certain situations. Appeals will only be considered if you have one of the following reasons: 

  • Appealing for a late application to be considered on time (for applicants only). 
  • Changing your Freshman/Transfer status (for applicants only). 
  • Requesting to defer admission to a later semester (for admitted students only). 
  • Requesting to reinstate an offer of admission that you previously declined (for admitted students only). 
  • Requesting to change a chosen Coordinated Admission Pathway Institution (for CAP students only).

Each appeal is considered on a case-by-case basis and should be submitted online. 

Please note: An appeal should not be submitted if you were not offered admission to The University of Texas at Austin or if you were offered admission but would like to be considered for a different major than the one admitted to. Please review our waitlist page instead.
