• Applying to the Mechanical Engineering/Operations Research & Industrial Engineering Graduate Program

is a two-step process. You may work on both steps of the application simultaneously. Please begin the

Department Supplemental Application and the Apply Texas Application first. Then proceed with the other

requirements in any order. What matters most is that everything is in by the deadline. *Please note that the

entire application is submitted online with the exception of the transcripts that are sent to GIAC. Paper

submissions of any other part of the application are not accepted.

• Step 1: Apply to the University of Texas at Austin. The following

materials are required to be submitted through GIAC, the Graduate &
International Admissions Center:

• Application fee ($50 for US students; $75 for International students). Forms of payment:

Visa/MasterCard online or check/money order by postal mail.

• GRE & TOEFL scores (Sent by E.T.S.; Photocopies are NOT accepted). Please use the University code

6882. We do not require a department code. Please use your judgment and chose a code if ETS
 requires it, but the code you pick will not have an affect on your scores getting to UT as long as you

have the correct University Code (6882).

• Official transcripts of previous academic work (Photocopies NOT accepted).

Step 2: Apply to the Mechanical Engineering/Operations Research &

Industrial Engineering Program(http://www.me.utexas.edu/graduate/supplemental.php)

• ME/ORIE Graduate Program Supplemental Application. We only accept online submissions. Without this

we cannot review your application.

education. Please email your résumé as a PDF attachment to Prabhu Khalsa. Please title your

document: LAST NAME, FIRST NAME (EID) RESUME.pdf. Example: Mr John Doe, EID:

JD123

DOE, JOHN (JD123) RESUME.pdf

Incorrectly titled documents will not be accepted.

International Graduate Admission-How to Apply

To apply for international graduate admission, complete these steps:
• Complete the ApplyTexas online application .
This is the fastest, easiest way for you to submit your application and is our preferred
method for receiving applications.
• Pay your application fee
You can pay by Visa or MasterCard when you fill out your online application. Alternately, you
may mail in your fee payment in the form of a check or money order in U.S. dollars to:

Graduate and International Admissions Center

The University of Texas at Austin
P.O. Box 7608
Austin, Texas 78713-7608

Make checks payable to the University of Texas at Austin.

Write your Application ID number (six digit), UT EID, or UT Assigned Student ID number (or
SSN if you have one) on your check or money order.

International applicants who have not previously been enrolled at the University must pay a
nonrefundable processing fee of seventy-five dollars (U.S. $75.00) for all majors except MBA
(B16100), MBA Option II (B16105), and graduate dual degree programs with the Graduate
School of Business, for which the application processing fee is $125.00. The application fee for
the Master in Professional Accounting (MPA) program (B01100), is $100.00.

Do not send cash or personal checks. Only cashier's checks, bank money orders, bank drafts
in U.S. dollars drawn on U.S. banks, or payment by Visa or MasterCard credit card will be
accepted.

Your application will not be processed unless the fee has been paid. The fee must accompany
the application for admission to avoid a delay in processing. The application fee is NOT
refundable.

• Submit official transcripts to GIAC

Mail your official transcripts to:

Graduate and International Admissions Center

The University of Texas at Austin
P.O. Box 7608
Austin, Texas 78713-7608

You must provide an official copy of the academic transcript from every senior college
attended. Unofficial transcripts--those that do not bear the facsimile signature of the registrar
and seal of the issuing institution--are not acceptable. Photocopies (even ones certified by a
notary public or commissioner of oaths) are NOT considered official. Transcripts are not
required from junior colleges and community colleges.
 If documents are written in a language other than English, complete and official English
translations must be provided together with the original language records. Each transcript
(mark sheet) should contain a complete record of studies at the institution from which it is
issued (i.e., the subjects taken and grades [marks] earned in each subject).

Even if courses taken at one institution are recorded on another college's transcript,
transcripts must be submitted from the institution at which courses were taken.

You can speed the processing of your application by having your transcript(s) sent
electronically. Institutions that are on the Texas Electronic Transcript Network or which use
the national ANSI ASC X12 transcript format (SPEEDE) can provide electronic transcripts.
GIAC prefers to receive electronic transcripts because they can be processed much faster than
paper transcripts. Check with the registrar of your institution to find out if transcripts can be
sent electronically.

The University of Texas at Austin uses an electronic image scanning system for the storage of
transcripts. Original transcripts are not kept once the electronic image has been created. If
you would like to have your foreign transcripts returned to you, send a self-addressed
envelope of a suitable size together with a request to return them. This request must be made
at the time of application. Postage will be paid by the University. We will not return transcripts
issued by United States universities.
• Submit official GRE/GMAT and either the TOEFL or the Academic Examination of the
IELTS test scores to GIAC
Check with the program to which you are applying to see which test you should take. Only
test scores mailed directly from the testing agency are considered official. Test scores
are received by the University approximately four to six weeks after a test is taken if the
University is designated as a score recipient at the time of testing.

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) code for the University of Texas at Austin is
6882. Test scores sent to this code are made available to all graduate departments.

There is no institutional code for the IELTS examination. Test takers should provide
the following address to have their official score sent to UT Austin:

Graduate and International Admissions Center

The University of Texas at Austin
P.O. Box 7608
Austin, Texas 78713-7608

Tests should be taken well in advance of the appropriate application dates to ensure that
scores will arrive prior to the deadlines. Copies of test scores are not considered official, but
they may help the University locate a student's official test scores and are therefore useful
when the application is processed. GRE and GMAT scores more than five years old and TOEFL
or IELTS scores more than two years old will not be accepted.
• CONTACT THE PROGRAM TO WHICH YOU ARE APPLYING
Most programs have additional requirements and application materials that you must complete
before they will consider your application for admission. Deadlines are set by individual
graduate programs. Click here for a list of graduate programs.

• FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF YOUR APPLICATION USING THE ONLINE STATUS CHECK
How to check your application status online.
Note: Application materials, including test scores and transcripts, are kept for one calendar year. If
you have made application in the past, you may be required to re-submit certain credentials.
