No…I meant…what do you mean by “personal information registration page”. I am looking for it and don’t know where it is or what it is? I don’t see it in My Status. Would love to check it.

Check the UT Austin personal information registration page.
It’s not intuitive. There may be another way, but the way I get there is click on the Financial Aid link in the lower right hand side of the Admissions tab on the My Status page. From there, click on MyUT in the upper right hand corner. Then, click on Registration Information under Quick Links.

Portals to be aware of for future use:
MyStatus, MyUT, UTDirect, Housing, Parking and Transportation, Financial Aid, Health, and Athletics/Ticketing. I am sure there are others I cant think of right now.

Thanks so much - that’s what I was asking. I had no idea what the other poster meant by personal information registration page. I see it now! But my page looks totally different than either of the screen shots posted above. Confused…but Thanks!
ETA - ok I found it! Your instructions were helpful - thank you! And no update. But my kid applied for Art so no EA option for that school. We have to wait until Feb 15. 
Good luck all!

Thank you
Curious - what is “crazy expensive”? For Callaway that was mentioned.
Website is: Floor Plans - The Callaway House Austin - Student Housing - Austin, TX
Below is an example of current pricing for a 2x2. Parking not included, this does include meals in their meal hall and housekeeping! A double (less expensive) is where 2 people share a bedroom, usually with a partial partition wall. There is “SMART” housing there as well that would be a good deal cheaper which is like 10% of units so very competitive and only open to those with financial need (have to submit fafsa or taxes). The examples below are regular pricing. Installments are 9 or 10 months. Callaway is probably the most expensive dorm.
This is a private dorm, not an apartment. There are many lux high-rise apartments in West Campus as well. Kitchens, no meals included. Those lease contracts are also 12 “installments” where you move in mid August and move out in May. Kind of a scam. But typically individually leased so you are not responsible if your roommate fails to pay rent.
I believe the “Yugo” apartments (Waterloo, Rio, Nueces, Corner?) are all 12 month / 12 installments. Her rent is also no where near that (less than 1/2) but does not come with meals or housekeeping
My daughter has lived there past two years as Junior/Senior. I understand you can sublet them for the summer, but it’s not super easy to do so. One nice thing is that even in the multi-bedroom apartments, each student carries their own individual lease, so they are only responsible for their rent payments etc. They are not responsible for the entire rent if a roommate bails out or otherwise.
Yes, most leases in West Campus for apartments are 12 months/12 installments so if you graduate in December, you have to hope to not lose your shirt trying to sublet the other semester and summer.
The private dorms are 9.5 month contracts just like the UT dorms - you pay Aug-May.
UT does own and run 1 large apartment building in West Campus (2400 Nueces) and they offer a few 9 month contracts but mostly 12 month contracts. They own some graduate apartments on the other side of IH35 by the baseball fields and some family apartments down by Town Lake too but 2400N is their most popular UT-run apartment for typical ungrads. UT will let you out of your apt lease early no penalty if you graduate early or do a semester abroad so that is nice. They have RAs and more rules and perhaps no golf simulator/indoor basketball/pilates/hot yoga studio like the posh high-rises though. Pros and cons.
But if you do want the UT run apartment (or even just the option of it), with only 600 units on a campus with 52000 students, it is incredibly important to apply the moment the housing portal opens on August 1 for the next academic year (and pay another $100 application fee 
, but hey at least you know you have been accepted because 2400N is sophomores and up only ).
This is what current students see, but only after they click on the specific semester. My applicant daughter just went to the RIS, and it will just show the Navigation menu and to the right it says: Your EID does not have an adequate assurance level. For our current Longhorn son there was an option to the right of this navigation menu to click on spring 2026. Once he clicked on that, the menu above showed up. So if this truly showed for an applicant, I would say that is a pretty great sign.

If it makes you feel better, my current LH had the Your EID does not have an adequate assurance level right up til 45 minutes before the RIS/WIO changed to his major & $200 enrollment fee in the portal and then his Longhorn confetti rained down for him around 4:15pm on EA day. Not seeing anything new is not a negative indicator.

True. Same for our current LH son.
Has it been officially confirmed that EA results on Thursday will only be accept or defer? Do we know if they will also deny that day? Thanks.

And CAP, I imagine.

The only two outcomes for EA last cycle were accept or defer. They made 5000 offers that night out of the 18000 total they eventually made by RD day on 92000 applications. These 2 outcomes for EA are confirmed by looking at the thread for class of 2029 and going to the posts on 1/15 at like 4pm. The number of posts in the 2029 college confidential far exceeded these 235 posts by a TON. UT has not changed the process or made any indication they changed it so I would expect no different this cycle (see screenshot).
For RD the outcomes were accept, deny, PACE, CAP where some of those accepted were really soft-rejections of the desired major. They didnt waitlist but implemented a new waitlist procedure where applicants could put themselves on it. According to the former AO, Texadmissions guy, he said he hadnt heard of anyone getting off that new waitlist but is still waiting for data about it to see how effective it was.

The only official info I have seen is “by 1/15” on the UT application website.
Last cycle, when UT put out the RD release a few days early (2/15 fell on a weekend) they put out an email to applicants saying it was coming early. Since they havent put out an email saying this cycle’s EA is coming out early, imho that means expect it on 1/15 after high schools in TX are out of school.

Maybe they were reading these posts 
It is getting real for y’all! I cant believe it has been a whole year for us. I am only staying up to date cuz a good friend asked me to go over her kid’s app this cycle and give input and then I have a nephew who says it’s his #1 (currently anyways) and he wants input/info for next cycle.
