Common App Applicants
To make applying easy and seamless, we accept applications through the Common Application—but there are still some steps to take after hitting “submit.” Follow the steps below to make sure we have everything we need so we can review you for admission!
Please note: You will receive an email with instructions to create a Go Vols Account within 48 hours of submitting your Common App. International students are not eligible for application fee waivers, including Common Application fee waivers.
Completing Your Application
Steps after submission
You will receive an email with instructions to create a Go Vols Account within 48 hours of submitting your Common App.
Mandatory:
- If you haven’t already, create a Go Vols Account using the same email you used on the Common Application. If you already have a Go Vols account, do not create a new one—you can log in like normal!
- Complete your Self-Reported Academic Record. We don’t need the official, final high school transcript until after you’ve been admitted and confirmed enrollment.
Please note: International students attending a US high school are required to complete the SRAR. - Students applying for admission are required to submit standardized test scores as part of their application. ACT or SAT scores can be self-reported in your Go Vols Portal.
Optional:
- Submit any additional items you want to include, like additional essays, written statements, or letters of recommendation.
Why do I need a Go Vols account?
Creating a Go Vols account with us is the best way to stay on top of your application to UT—and it’s where you’ll find out your admissions decision! In your Go Vols Portal, you are able to:
- See what checklist items we need
- Register for campus tours
- Add new test scores
- Apply for unique programs like UT Success Academy, University Honors programs, and more!
Basically, it’s a one-stop shop for everything UT!
