MSTC Application Status Check: Please remember to monitor the progress of your submitted Texas MSTC application through the application status at https://mccombs-utexas-admissions.symplicity.com/? .

GIAC Status Check: Monitor the receipt of your official transcripts and official test scores and the copy of your Green Card by checking the University of Texas status page at https://utdirect.utexas.edu/admissions/status_check.WBX.

Use your UT EID and password to check whether these items have been received by the GIAC. If any of these items show as outstanding or not received, your application decision will be delayed. The GIAC status check should be used exclusively for these three items. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all required credentials are received. All other components of your application and final decision should be monitored at the McCombs Status Check.
