Students from Other Universities

Course Registration and Credit

Please see the UTLA Eligibility Criteria before you apply for admission to the program. Please note that before you can apply or register for your courses, you must request a UT EID if you do not have one or need to retrieve an existing EID (if you applied for admission to the University in the past, for example, you will have an EID).

Upon notification of admission to the UT Semester in Los Angeles program, you will enroll and register for your classes through The University of Texas at Austin Division of Continuing & Extended Education. Please note that enrollment in University Extension courses does not constitute regular admission to The University of Texas at Austin.

All undergraduate participants of the Semester in Los Angeles Program are required to register for 12 credit hours during fall or spring semester, or 9 credit hours over summer semester. Graduate students are required to register for 9 hours during a fall or spring semester, or 6 hours over a summer semester. All participants are required to enroll in the COM350L course, “Communication Internship: Semester in Los Angeles.”

Upon completion of the program, The University at Austin Division of Continuing and Extended Education will issue a grade report for work completed in the program. You can request an official transcript from The University of Texas at Austin (cost: $10) at any time after your grade report has been issued. Credit earned through University Extension may be applied toward degree credit at a college or university, depending on the school’s transfer policies. Students should consult an academic advisor, department chair, dean or provost in their home institution to become familiar with policies regarding transfer course work before applying for the UTLA program.
