Built for Every Student Every visit is designed to be informative, engaging, and accessible. We aim to meet students wherever they are in their understanding of possible post-secondary options. Things to Know TARGET AUDIENCE School groups and/or community organizations serving students in grades 9-12 GROUP SIZE We’ve presented to groups of 5 all the way up to 200 AVERAGE DURATION 20-45 minutes (highly flexible and can be repeated across multiple class periods) TRAVEL AREA Across Texas, based on availability and travel logistics WHEN TO SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST At least 4 weeks prior to preferred date RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAME* ▪︎ Fall (groups primarily made up of seniors)▪︎ Spring (groups primarily made up of freshmen-juniors) * Because our programming covers information relevant to UT’s December 1 application deadline, engagements in the fall tend to be the most timely option for groups primarily made up of grade 12 students. For groups primarily made up of grades 9-11, we generally recommended scheduling engagements in the spring. These are recommendations only; we are glad to work within your program’s scheduling needs and enjoy welcoming groups throughout the year. Interested in learning more?
