We invite Fall 2011 applicants to Visit Plan II Honors

Our Plan II Honors information session agenda includes a one-hour session with prospective students and their family members, followed by a visit to a Plan II Honors World Literature class for the student, while parents remain for more information and Q&A. The session topics include:

* What is Plan II?
* Critical Deadlines and How to Apply
* Evaluation Criteria
* Core Curriculum
* Honors and General Housing Information
* Study Abroad
* Test Credits (AP, SAT II, IB)
* Double-Majors & Dual-Degrees
* Misconceptions
* What do you with a Plan II major?
* Class Visit for prospective student
* Continuation of Info session for parents while the prospective student visits a
Plan II World Literature class.

Registration is required to attend the Plan II information session. At Visit Plan II you’ll find links to register for a information session and class visit, maps to our building and a map to Hargis Hall, where the general UT information session will be held, as well as links to maps of parking and to other areas of campus.

Visit Plan II also contains a link to the PDF download of the self-guided campus walking tour and information on other college and academic program information sessions. Some folks use the self-guided tour to check out the campus early in the morning, before the Plan II session, leaving an extra free hour in the afternoon to squeeze in a second college or major information session, a dorm tour or a visit to one of the campus jewels, such as the Blanton Art Museum, the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center or the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum.

Visitors can tour one of three different dorms: Kinsolving, San Jacinto, or Jester. The honors residence halls are not available for tours. Many folks also try to squeeze in a stop at the Housing Office (DHFS), Freshman Admissions Office, or the Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS) before or after all those events.

*Interviews are not required as part of the admissions process.

Plan II does not offer information sessions over the summer or during spring break.
