Campus visits for prospective students and their families are offered on Mondays and Fridays from September through early July from 9:30AM-2:30PM (or some time window within that interval). Visits on other days and times may sometimes be accommodated upon request; email admissions@uaustin.org for more information.

Visits are normally customized for the individual student and often include:

A guided tour of our campus (101 W 6th Street, Austin) and Union on 24th student apartments (701 W 24th Street, Austin)
Observation of a class (prospective students only)
Meetings with academic and student leaders

If you wish to plan and register a student group visit to UATX, please email admissions@uaustin.org with your first and last name, school or organization, phone number, and a detailed request. You may also call or text us at 737-377-2488.

Important Notes:

Campus Visits offered by the UATX Admissions Office are normally reserved for prospective undergraduate students and their families. If you wish to visit as a parent without a student; as a teacher, counselor, or school administrator; or as an individual with other interests (or with a general interest in the University), please email programs@uaustin.org with your first and last name, phone number, and a detailed request. We will respond to your inquiry promptly.
Visits are not normally scheduled over student breaks, in the first week of each term, and during major holidays. The UATX 2026-2027 Academic Calendar can be viewed here.
The prospective student, not a parent, should fill out the registration form if possible.
We may reach out with additional questions in advance of your visit. We will also send you a customized itinerary no later than one day prior to your visit. Please check your email, including your spam folder!
Each prospective UATX student (even multiple students from the same family) must be registered individually, not included in the form as a guest. Parents and other family members should be indicated as guests.
Parking Information: UATX does not have a public parking lot. The University will validate parking at Metropolis Parking at 112 E 5th Street in Austin, very close to our Scarbrough Campus at 101 W 6th Street, Austin. Please request validation at the UATX front desk and have your license plate number handy. Parking elsewhere (including at or near the Union on 24th student apartments) unfortunately cannot be validated.
The entrance to the lobby of our campus (in the historic Scarbrough Building) is on 6th Street, NOT on Congress Avenue. (522 Congress Ave is our mailing address.) The entrance, marked with “SCARBROUGH” above the doors, is located between Velvet Taco and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Access to UATX’s campus on the third and second floor of the Scarbrough Building (via stairs or elevator) requires a key card. A staff member or security guard will greet you in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building at the beginning of your visit and guide you to the third floor. Please do not arrive more than five minutes prior to your visit start time, as you may not be able to access the building.

Any questions or requests? Email us at admissions@uaustin.org, or call or text us at 737-377-2488.
