Senate Bill 175, passed by the 81st ֱ Legislature, allows The University of ֱ at Austin to limit automatic admission to 75 percent of the university’s enrollment capacity designated for first-time resident undergraduate students. 

The University has determined that it will automatically admit all eligible summer/fall 2022 and spring 2023 freshman applicants who rank within the top six percent (6%) of their high school graduating classes, with remaining spaces to be filled through holistic review. This remains unchanged since the last school year. A letter from University President ad interim Jay Hartzell is attached to this correspondence. 

This information should be shared with all high school junior-level students and their parents. 

If you have questions regarding this policy, please contact Rachelle Hernandez, Senior Vice Provost for Enrollment Management and Student Success, at The University of ֱ at Austin at (512) 471-4363.
