Texas Two Step
Just like dancing the Texas Two Step, some folks will pick up completing their applications with ease, while others will need some guidance from their partner to dance through this application process. Please make sure to contact PharmCAS and/or individual colleges of pharmacy for this guidance.
Applying to the UT Austin College of Pharmacy will require you to submit two applications to be considered for admissions. You will submit an application to PharmCAS and our College of Pharmacy supplemental application. Further details will be provided below.
Please contact the appropriate entity if you have any questions:

Step Two: Supplemental Application
Entry into the supplemental application will require you to have a UT EID and Password. If you need to create a UT EID or need to find out if you already have a UT EID (UT Electronic Identifier) having applied UT Austin in the past, please reference the UT EID Self-Service Tools.
If you need to access your supplemental application after the initial creation of your supplemental application account, you will be required to access your application using DUO (multi-factor authentication). Please reference DUO Help, if needed.
You can actually begin entering information into the supplemental application once you’ve created your PharmCAS Application ID.
Once you submit your completed supplemental application, you’ll receive a separate email directing you to our “WHAT I OWE” application billing system to submit payment.
Supplemental Application Cost: $100- nonrefundable fee
