change-of-major admissions
Students currently or formerly enrolled in other UT-Austin degree programs who wish to enroll in architecture or interior design must submit a Change-of-Major Application to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs by the first Monday in March. Applications are available from the Office of the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Programs each February. Students may apply for fall admission only. Students must have completed a minimum of 24 semester hours of UT-Austin coursework by the end of the spring semester in which they apply, and they should have a minimum 3.25 UT-Austin grade point average in order to be able to apply. Frequently, the grade point average cut-off is higher, depending upon the pool of applicants and the number of spaces available.
Change of Major Information Sessions
All prospective School of Architecture majors must attend ONE of the following information sessions before they apply during the spring semester. We will discuss the admissions process and spring course registration.
Sessions will be held in the Dean's Conference Room (GOL 2.308) from 4-5pm. The fall 2009 dates are:
Thursday, September 17
Wednesday, October 7

Fall or Summer Start
The School of Architecture will consider students for fall semester admission only. Students must indicate on their application whether they intend to begin in the summer or fall semester. Students who opt to begin in the summer must: 1) indicate on their application that they intend to begin the design sequence in the summer; 2) register for the summer sessions of Design I and II and Visual Communications I and II courses during their first registration access period in the spring; and 3) meet the pre-requisites (M408C or M408K & L and PHY 302K/102M). The summer program consists of both summer sessions and students are in class from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. every day.
Admissions for change of major students vary from year to year dependent upon available space.
