• Please check your Registration Information Sheet (RIS) for your specific window of access to the registration system to enroll yourself in classes.
• If a course shows "open; reserved" or "waitlisted," please add yourself to the waitlist, as any open seats will be filled from the waitlist. Should seats remain open near to the start of class, any open seats will be filled from the waitlist.
• If you are a triple major or a declared major/minor in a subject but do not yet have access to priority seating for the class please email the academic advisor(s) for that subject for further help accessing necessary coursework.
• If you are in need of a prerequisite waiver to register and meet the qualifications to request a waiver (ie-you've completed transfer coursework that does not yet show on your audit or you have the ability to claim CR for prerequisite coursework), please submit your request with any supporting documentation (ex. unofficial transcript) attached as a PDF to frit-advising@austin.utexas.edu.
  • Proof of completed transfer course prerequisite must include the following:  student name, institution name, semester taken, course title, final letter grade received (cannot be a numeric percentage, must be a final letter grade)
  • Remember to include your EID, the course subject and number, and unique number if seeking a specific course section when requesting your prerequisite waiver.
