Student Responsibilities

As noted in the Cockrell School of Engineering Handbook, each student must be informed about all pertinent rules and regulations and must abide by them at all times. Academic advisors are available to assist students, but the ultimate responsibility for being informed rests with the student. Please review the policies and procedures that apply to undergraduate students.

Tutoring

The Cockrell School of Engineering provides various opportunities for students to receive academic support via personalized tutoring and academic community centers. The school offers tutoring by department, drop-in tutoring via Engineering Study Tables in the new Engineering Education and Research Center (EER) and scheduled appointments through Engineering Student Services. For more information on tutoring times and locations, visit ENGR Direct Students. To schedule a tutoring appointment, visit the Online Appointment Book.

Transcript Requests

  • All requests for transcripts should be done electronically via Texas One Stop. There is a $20 fee per copy that you request.

Study Abroad

  • If you are interested in studying abroad for a short-term program (maymester) or semester-exchange program (fall and/or spring terms) can find more information through the International Engineering Education Office (IEE).
  • IEE has advisors for students to meet with and discuss their options in more detail.
  • It is recommended that your semester abroad aligns with the courses you were planning to take at UT to ensure that your time abroad does not delay your graduation.
