How it Works

University Extension (UEX) courses award UT Austin college credit, are transferable and appear on an official university transcript. Choose among three different online course formats to get ahead or catch up on your degree requirements. No admission required.

All of UEX's online courses are designed so you can take them from anywhere you have internet access. Some courses are conducted entirely online, while some require you to take exams in person at an approved testing center near you. Details are provided on each course page.

We maintain a list of testing centers used by our students in Texas and throughout the United States for your convenience. These lists are not exhaustive, and we can help you find a more conveniently located testing site, if desired.
