When do I get my UT EID and MyStatus?24–48 hours
MyStatus opens 24–48 hours after you submit your application, and admissions emails you your UT EID and password to sign in.
If you apply as a first-year in August, your login arrives by September 1. Transfer applicants who apply in September get theirs by October 1.
MyStatus is for undergraduate applicants. Once your application is complete, a link to apply for campus housing appears there.
How do I set up Duo?mfa.login.utexas.edu
Go to mfa.login.utexas.edu, sign in with your UT EID and password, and add your phone with the Duo Mobile app. After that, Duo asks you to confirm it’s you when you sign in to UT sites.
UT recommends Duo Verified Push in the app and strongly recommends adding a second device as a backup. No smartphone? A hardware token from the Campus Computer Store works instead.
If you lose your only device, call the ET Support Center at 512-475-9400 to get back in.
How do I sign in to my UT email?Outlook
Go to office365.austin.utexas.edu, choose Outlook, and sign in with your EID, password, and Duo. Your address is your EID followed by @my.utexas.edu.
UT creates your Microsoft 365 account before your first semester and emails you when it’s ready. UT counts an email as delivered even if your inbox is full, so check it at least twice a week. Daily is better.
After you graduate, you lose access on the 12th class day of the next long semester. Spring graduates lose it in the fall.
Where do I find my registration time?On your RIS
On your RIS, the Registration Information Sheet in UT Direct. It shows when you can register and any holds you need to clear first.
You can’t change your time. Undergraduate times for the first access period are based on your progress toward your degree. New first-years and transfers register at orientation, with an advisor.
Is What I Owe the same as my tuition bill?No
No. You pay tuition, or confirm attendance if you owe nothing, on My Tuition Bill. What I Owe lists other charges, like a health center visit, and is where you clear financial holds.
Financial holds over $1,000 block registration. What I Owe is also linked under Important Information on MyUT.

Where are my classes online?Canvas
In Canvas, at canvas.utexas.edu. It’s UT’s online classroom for class materials, assignments, discussions, and Zoom.
How much UT Box storage do I get?No set limit
Students get UT Box free, with no storage limit by default. Your account is created the first time you sign in at utexas.box.com with your EID.
When you leave UT, your files are kept for 120 days and then deleted, so download what you want first.
When do I get Workday?When you’re hired
When you’re hired for a campus job. Once your department finalizes your job in Workday, you get an email asking you to sign in and finish onboarding tasks, like direct deposit and your W-4.
Hourly student workers enter their time in Workday to get paid. To find a job, search Workday’s Student Jobs Site. UT employs more than 10,000 students each semester.
Who do I call when a login won’t work?512-475-9400
The ET Support Center, UT’s IT help desk, at 512-475-9400. To change or reset your EID password yourself, use the UT EID Self-Help Tool.
