What is UEX and who are UEX students?
- UEX is University Extension, which offers UT approved cirriculum with UT instructors.
- UT Austin admission is not required to register and earn credit thru UEX
- Some UEX classes are self-paced and do not have traditional semesters
- UEX courses show up on official transcripts and can count toward degrees
- The term UEX in our parlance also covers "correspondence" classes.
- These courses are not considered "in-residence" courses.
- Students can be UEX-only, in which case they are not enrolled at UT and have a PROGRAM-CODE = 'E0100' - See *ADCODE under Irregular, or they may be co-enrolled (UEX courses plus regular enrollment with sch-major)
UEX on Student Records
- UEX classes never go on File 50, only File 149
- UEX classes can be found on File 149 in SP-CLASSES array
- The 149 record that contains UEX classes semester is numbered like any regular semester, 2,6, or 9, but for display purposes (such as on NRRECS/SH), the semester is manipulated to be 1, 5, 8
- Though not admitted to UT, E0100 students DO have a File 50 record that keeps their name and contact info etc. but will have no sch-maj or classificaton, and the 50 record is not marked audited
- UEX classes do not go onto student's record until completed, and even if completed and loaded for the current semester, it goes on a File 149 record that will be specially created to hold the UEX data
- For reference, on Grade Night, for admitted students, a 149 record for the current semester is created and then the student's current classes/grades are moved over to it from File 50 before the semester is switched to the new semester, but we must check to see if a student who is co-enrolled (UEX and regular classes) might already have their current 149 rec that was made to hold completed UEX classes
- When E0100 student is admitted as regular student, program code E0100 goes away, other data is updated, the File 50 record AUDIT-SW = 'A', FSE is applied
- UEX coursework can be posted retroactively
Note: credit by exam also shows on File 149 SP-CLASSES array
Note: all of a students' classes, past, present, regular, UEX/corr, credit by exam, can be found using NRR$SACC

UEX and transcripts
- UEX classes appear on Official transcripts
- E0100 students cannot order electronic transcripts, but they can order Official and Unofficial transcripts, either in-person or through the online Transcript Order System (OTOS)
- UEX classes can take awhile to show up on transcript after completed - per Jim Bullock: "There can be a latency of as much as a semester between the time a student finishes an extension course and the time it is added to 50 or 149, depending on timing. Correspondence courses are quicker, as there is a weekly batch update from UEX whenever the student finishes those online."
- If E0100 student has no classes listed yet, they are barred from ordering a transcript
- The website hints at a 6-month timeframe in which to order UEX transcripts - there is no programmatic nor business rule that anyone can recall that gives a reason for this

UEX and certificates
For the purposes of determining the most recent post-degree semester with coursework to assign a certificate conferral CCYYS, semesters with UEX classes only will count. For example, this is common with the Business Foundations certificate
