(1) Sometimes students have had a different last name at some point in their lives. UT needs this information when processing admission materials, such as transcripts, in order to match them to the name(s) on the application.

(2) UT uses your Social Security Number as an identification and tracking number. Once you enroll, it becomes your permanent student ID number.

(8) If you are not a citizen of the United States but are a permanent resident, you must submit a copy of your alien registration card (green card), front and back, and indicate your resident number and country of citizenship.
