This form will help the Brazil Center save a seat for you in the courses you are most interested in, as exchange students arrive after the initial registration period and many courses fill up.

After arriving at UT, exchange students will meet Dr. Jorge Zornberg and the Civil Engineering Undergraduate Advisor to finalize their course selections.
