EDP New Student Checklist
All new EDP Students are encouraged to view and utilize the EDP New Student Checklist. EDP will not track your progress through the checklist - this is simply a helpful list for new students, to use if you wish.

UT International students are required by UT to attend an Immigration Briefing and Check-In (IBC) - check-in for more information and dates. At IBC, you will learn about immigration, work eligibility in the U.S., how to obtain U.S. forms of identification (i.e. driver's license and social security number), and health insurance requirements.
Advising & Registration
During EDP Orientation, you will meet with your program's Area Chair or Director to determine what classes to take in the Fall. During this advising session, you will submit your EDP Advising Form, which is required for you to enroll in classes.
...
- Contact the EDP Graduate Coordinator by May 1st to inform that you wish to start in the Summer.
- Contact the Program Area Chair in your area of study as soon as possible to arrange a time to fill out an Advising Form so that you can register for Summer courses. Read through the Advising & Registration page in the Student Handbook for information registration and payment dates/deadlines.

EDP suggests you review the Course Waiver process for EDP and submit any waivers (particularly Foundation Course waivers) before Orientation if possible, as waivers may affect what courses you will take in your first semester. While you won't get an official Program of Work until Orientation, you can get a good sense of what courses will may be taking by visiting the Program of Work page in the EDP Student Handbook.
