Student Transition Programs strives to create a welcoming environment for all students, families, and guests by providing the framework for students to learn and develop while adjusting to the expectations, standards, and academic rigors of the University and fostering pride in the UT Dallas community.

Student Transition Programs welcomes all new undergraduate students and their families to the University! We provide programming, services and involvement opportunities specific to first-year students, transfer students, sophomores, juniors and seniors.

The AccessAbility Resource Center (ARC) provides disability and accessibility services to students at The University of Texas at Dallas.
