Visit the Forty Acres.
Here’s how.
We encourage prospective undergraduates and their families to visit The University of Texas at Austin’s campus, nicknamed the Forty Acres after its original footprint.
Prospective Freshman Sessions and Tours
High school students considering The University of Texas at Austin are best served by a Prospective Freshman Session and Tour. An admissions officer shares details about the university, after which current students lead a campus walking tour.
Prospective Transfer Student Campus Tours
Prospective transfer students should take part in a Prospective Transfer Student Campus Tour.
Special Interest Sessions
Want to learn more about a particular college, school or academic program? Interested in a residence hall tour? Register for an interest session taking place the day of your visit.
Group Visits
Bringing a group? The Visitor Center offers student-led walking tours of campus for groups of 10–100 visitors.
To schedule a group tour please contact the Group Visit Coordinator by emailing groupvisitrequest@austin.utexas.edu. This is the only method that will notify the coordinator you are interested in a group visit.
Other Visitors
The university also welcomes prospective graduate students, the general public and groups of 10–100 visitors to its Visitor Center.
