UT Austin Spring Orientation Guide 2017 by UT Orientation

Spring Orientation

2017

The Longhorn State of Mind is embodied in our university’s core values, but more than that, students should feel empowered to bring these values to life as part of their success at The University of Texas at Austin.

Core Values Individual Opportunity - Many options, diverse people and ideas, one university. Responsibility - To serve as a catalyst for positive change in Texas and beyond. Learning - A caring community, all of us students, helping one another grow. Discovery - Expanding knowledge and human understanding. Freedom - To seek the truth and express it.  Leadership - The will to excel with integrity and the spirit that nothing is impossible.

Student Honor Code “As a student of The University of Texas at Austin, I shall abide by the core values of the University and uphold academic integrity.” The principles of the Student Honor Code are key to a Longhorn State of Mind. In abiding by its values, you promote an environment conducive to academic success. It is the responsibility of every Longhorn to both know and uphold the University’s expectations for conduct. Student Conduct and Academic Integrity in the Office of the Dean of Students fosters a Longhorn State of Mind on campus through the resolution of academic integrity and conduct-related matters as well as educational outreach to students, faculty, and staff. Specific information about the University’s disciplinary process, related resources, as well as the University’s rules (described in Chapter 11 of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities) can be found on the Student Conduct and Academic Integrity website at deanofstudents.utexas.edu/conduct.

Spring Orientation 2017

ORIENTATION OVERVIEW Getting the Most Out of Orientation 1. Find your way around. Take a campus tour, check out the map at the back of this guide or via the UT Austin app, and explore the Forty Acres on your own. This will make it much easier to find your classes this semester. 2. Plan out your schedule. Find out which programs are required—you can’t miss those! Make sure to take time to pick up your student ID card and upgrade your EID. Figure out which UTransform sessions works best for you (you’re required to attend one). Choose which Discover UT programs you’d like to attend. 3. Explore what UT has to offer. Choose one or two Discover UT programs that spark your interest. Browse through more than 1,100 student orgs on HornsLink.org. You can also use the list of phone numbers and websites in the back of your guide/in the UT Orientation app to find out more about a particular department or program. 4. Make a friend. Exchange information with people you meet at orientation programming. Knowing a few new faces will make the campus feel a lot smaller, and you may make a friend for life! 5. Have a plan. Before the end of orientation, have a plan for what you might want to accomplish in your time on campus. Time will pass more quickly than you expect, so the sooner you get started, the more you will get out of your time at UT Austin.

ALL ABOUT TESTING Texas Success Initiative Office The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state-legislated program designed to improve student success in college. There are two components of the program: 1) an assessment to determine students’ basic skills in reading, mathematics and writing; and 2) developmental instruction to strengthen academic skills that need improvement. Before you can register for courses, you must prove you are TSI exempt or present passing scores from the TSI Assessment. To learn more about TSI exemptions, visit utexas.edu/ugs/tsi/exemptions.

How to Check Your TSI Status •

Log onto the Registration Information Sheet (RIS) (https://utdirect.utexas.edu/registrar/ris.WBX). Scroll down to the Advising Information section and look for the heading “TSI Status.” If it states, “Exempt” or “Complete,” you have completed all of your TSI requirements, and there is no further action needed on your part.

•

If your TSI Status states, “Barred” or “Unknown,” you must contact the TSI Office and speak to the TSI academic advisor as soon as possible. If you have not yet met TSI requirements, you will be asked to take the TSI Assessment before you arrive at orientation.

Submitting TSI Scores If you have already taken the TSI Assessment, it is your responsibility to submit your test scores to the TSI Office. You can email or bring a hard copy of official test scores to the TSI Office. Students may also request that the institution at which they took the TSI Assessment “push” their TSI scores to the TSI Office. Contact the TSI Office at tsi@austin.utexas.edu for specific instructions.

Need to test? •

You should plan to take the TSI Assessment as soon as possible, before you arrive at orientation. Contact your high school counselor or local community college for information on registering for the assessment. If you need additional assistance, contact the TSI Office for help finding a testing center.

•

Before you take the TSI Assessment, state law requires that you complete the Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA). It is available at utexas.edu/ugs/tsi/pre_assessment_activity. You will not be permitted to take the TSI Assessment without first completing the PAA.

•

If you do not take the TSI Assessment before orientation, the TSI Office will work with you to set up a time to test with Student Testing Services on campus. This will delay your class registration and require you to return to campus after orientation.

Students with scores below the state–set standards will be required to enroll in one or more developmental education courses until they complete their TSI requirements in all three areas.

Credit by Exam Student Testing Services (STS) within Testing and Evaluation Services (TES) provides opportunities for students to earn credit by exam. Credit by exam means that students may “test out” of college courses. Please do not sign up for any tests on Jan. 9 that conflict with required orientation programming. Failure to attend a required program could affect your ability to register for classes on Jan. 10.

Basic Guidelines •

A student may not test out of courses (or their equivalents) in which the student already has a passing or a failing grade.

•

Credit by exam is not required. However, if you wish to begin studying a foreign language at a level beyond the entry-level course, you may need to take a placement test in order to do so. Visit learningsciences.utexas.edu/studenttesting/welcome-student-testing-services for more information.

•

Credit by exam is recommended for those students who have considerable skills in certain academic areas, and who wish to satisfy degree or other requirements with testing.

•

Students with credit-eligible Advanced Placement (AP), CLEP, SAT Subject Test, or International Baccalaureate (IB), test scores may find that they have already earned coursework credit at UT Austin by taking exams. Please see the STS website at learningsciences.utexas.edu/studenttesting/welcomestudent-testing-services for tests and scores that we accept.

Claiming Credits •

Credit-eligible scores will not automatically be turned into coursework credit; students must first claim the credits online. Your course credit will not be recorded until after you have started classes at UT Austin. After you have begun attending classes at UT Austin, you may then petition at any time during your studies here (test scores are good for 10 years). The petitioning fee is $6 per credit hour.

•

If you don’t want credits you’ve earned by exam to appear on your transcript, but want to use a test score to place out of a course, you can use your test score to claim “placement only.” Once you’ve used a test score for placement, you can later petition for the course credit, but once a test score has been used for credit it cannot be changed to “placement only.”

•

You should always speak with an academic advisor who can help you make the best decision about if and when to claim credit.

•

For more information about claiming credit and placement, visit learningsciences.utexas.edu/ studenttesting/welcome-student-testing-services.

Reporting Test Scores If you have taken any SAT Subjects Tests or AP, CLEP or IB Exams, you should have the official report of your scores sent to UT Austin. The College Board score recipient number for UT Austin is 6882. To make sure that scores are already on file for your previously taken tests, visit learningsciences.utexas.edu/ studenttesting/welcome-student-testing-services and click on View Scores and Claim Credit.

Challenging a Course If you want to try to earn credit for a course, but UT Austin does not offer a standardized test that grants credit for it, you can challenge the course. If your departments approves it, you can take a test not offered by UT Austin in an attempt to earn credit for the course. You can speak with a TES/STS staff member for more information on this procedure. Spring Orientation 2017 19

Registering for Tests You may register for a test online at learningsciences.utexas.edu/studenttesting/welcome-student-testingservices. There is a non-refundable test registration fee of $20, and the remainder of the test fee will be billed after you take the test. Payment is due within 14 days after the test administration. Information on how to pay your test fees may be found on the TES/STS website. Many tests can only be taken once, so you should consider when the best time is to take each test. Tests are offered at scheduled times before each registration period.

On-Campus Testing You can find the current testing schedule on the TES/STS website: learningsciences.utexas.edu/ studenttesting/welcome-student-testing-services. This schedule is updated monthly. Testing Protocol Bring a photo ID and two sharpened No. 2 pencils to each test. If you are taking the SAT Math Level 1 test, you will need to bring a scientific or graphing calculator. You should arrive at your test room at least 15 minutes early. For most tests, you may not leave until everyone is dismissed. Special Arrangements for Students with Disabilities If you require academic accommodations or assistance due to a documented disability, you should contact these two offices (before registering for a test) at least five business days before the day of the test: • •

Services for Students with Disabilities, in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at ssd@austin.utexas.edu or (512) 471-6259 to seek approval for authorized accommodations; Student Testing Services at ctl-testing@utlists.utexas.edu or Nazy Sheikhzadeh at (512) 232-7593 to register and make arrangements to take the test.

More Information For more information on credit by exam and placement tests, including a complete list of tests and testing periods, visit the STS website at learningsciences.utexas.edu/studenttesting/welcome-studenttesting-services.

Attend the Student Veteran Pre-Orientation Program. Please bring all pertinent certification paperwork with you to the orientation session. Students MUST be in attendance in order for paperwork to be processed. Parents cannot submit paperwork for the student. 4. After registering for courses each semester, certify for your benefits. Certification for all veterans’ educational benefits, including the GI Bill, Hazlewood Exemption, and benefits for survivors or dependents is processed by the Office of the Registrar. To find out how to apply for your education benefits, contact Student Veteran Services at 512-232-2835. Spring Orientation 2017 21

FAQs What should I submit with my application for VA Benefits? Eligible veterans and service members on active duty or in the reserves who have never received VA education benefits must complete an Application for VA Education Benefits, VA form 22-1990 (Dependents will fill out the 22-1990e), and provide a copy of their DD214/member 4 or Notice of Basic Eligibility form. Transfer students who have received VA education benefits at other institutions must complete a VA form 22-1995, Request for Change of Program or Place of Training. More information is available at registrar.utexas.edu/docs/certification/ApplyGI.pdf.

I am currently a veteran, active duty military or a dependent using VA benefits. How can I qualify for in-state tuition? Veterans, active duty military (including active reserves and National Guard), or dependents using VA benefits may have their out-of-state tuition status waived to in-state tuition under the Texas Education Code. To receive the in-state tuition waiver, you will need to take a copy of your VA Certificate of Eligibility to the Residency Office at Walter Webb Hall. If you have any specific questions regarding residency, please call 512-475-7391 or email residency@austin.utexas.edu. The residency office is located within the Graduate & International Admissions Center in Walter Webb Hall in the northwest area of campus. Office hours are weekdays from 8 a.m.– 5 p.m. Per new VA rules, beginning July 2015, all residency waivers must be completed before you can by certified for your VA benefits.

How do I receive Hazlewood benefits? The Hazlewood Act currently provides qualified veterans, spouses, and children with tuition and fee exemptions for approved programs at state-supported colleges or universities. To use or transfer benefits, complete an application and submit it to the Office of the Registrar. The University of Texas at Austin determines eligibility based on compliance with state regulations. More information is available at https:// utexas.app.box.com/v/hazlewood-exemption-req.

Where can I find more information? More information for military personnel and veterans may be found by using the search term “military” on the Texas Higher Education Board website at CollegeforAllTexans.com, or by visiting the UT Austin Veterans Services website at deanofstudents.utexas.edu/veterans.

How does UT Austin determine which military education credits can count as college credit? UT Austin uses the American Council of Education (ACE) guides to research course credit and awards all recommended credit at the upper division baccalaureate level. Credit is awarded after enrollment, in a manner similar to credit by exam.
