I clicked on it and signed in. Title is “Scholarship/Fellowship Award History” and beneath my name and UT EID it says, “You have no awards from the Cockrell School of Engineering to display.” Nothing about an advisor. Also says last updated June 27, 2024.
OOS and applied to McCombs as 1st and 2nd choice major so I think this only applies to Cockrell students?
Is this link populated with an award amount?
Try the path: Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request
Then hit the first choice for advisors and see what you get.
No, just the EID and “no awards”
Yeah I’m seeing all the same things, I’m LBJ/COLA in-state, no advisor though
Took me to CNS which (again) I’m not applying to 
Says “No advisor assignment found.”
it took me to CNS too even though my son didn’t apply there either, but the advisor listed is for chemical engineering
Oh! That’s interesting.
Maybe they are only populating engineering info today… or maybe none of it means anything at all
On th page where is says myadvisor it is CNS but the Scholarship/Fellowship Award History award page it says Cockrell. I applied McCombs OOS
S25 logged into his UT EID and found assigned advisor’s name with Cockrell as well, OOS.
Fingers crossed.
Ok I found out via a UT admin on Reddit that Cockrell automatically assigns and advisor when an EID is created when you apply. Womp womp. The chemical engineering advisor is new and looks nice and I was already fantasizing about my child getting to know him 
On that note, digital presence and the ability to learn about people on the internet is such a WEIRD thing. A double edged sword.
I was having the same thoughts about my child’s advisor 
Same as everyone else. Big change in the RIS section for us. Maybe we are all just an elite group. LOL
I’m an applicant for Fall 2025, and very well versed with the UT Direct website since I’ve gone through it looking for portal astrology several times over the course of the past two months, and a lot of the ‘movement’ people are talking about is stuff that has either been there for a while (on my end at least) or not indicative of anything.
The Scholarship/Fellowship Award History page has been populated for a while (at least a week or so, since that’s when I originally found it), and the ‘optional fees’ page has been available for me since October (this is when I started checking UT Direct). Additionally, the updated notification on the RIS page is more-than-likely just an updated version of the original error message, since as far as I’ve seen (and I keep up with every UT 2025 admissions group so I’ve seen a lot) the vast majority of people who get that new message are the same ones who had the original. Nobody who already has access to RIS, such as myself, has lost it.
I feel a little bad because I’m the person who originally brought up the CNS advisor page on the Reddit, which people seem to have taken as a sign of admission.
This is because the SFAH page is specific to Cockrell students, and the advisor page is specific to CNS students. You can only access them via the department-specific UTD pages.
UT’s latest tweet: Applications for freshman admission to The University of Texas at Austin increased 24.3% for the Fall 2025 term. This marks the third consecutive year UT has received a record-breaking volume of freshman applications
That’s ok, now we know!
90,562 freshman applications!!! HOLY MOLY. I really thought that number would decrease with the test score required change.
Notable is the deadline for supplemental materials has not yet passed which tells me this number is NOT completed applications.
Press Release (Instate +12%, OOS + 48%) . Speculating reason is probably football and to some extent common app.
