What is a flag? A BlueStar Flag is essentially an email from instructor to student that comments on the student's performance and/or behavior in class.
For more information about flags visit http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/flags/students/about. Our mission is to create, maintain, certify, and protect University records of courses, degrees, and students.
What is an Independent Inquiry Flag class like? The emphasis for courses carrying this Flag is on how the student is engages in the process of inquiry over the course of the semester rather than on the final project or product that results from the student's independent work.
Flagging allows a student to mark a particular piece of feedback that they disagree with or find incorrect. The teacher will be alerted that a piece of feedback has been flagged and is then able to review the flagged feedback and make a final decision on what evaluation to give.

The Texas flag is the only flag of an American State having previously served as a flag of a recognized independent country. The Lone Star Flag described above was not the first official flag of the Republic of Texas.
The purpose of the core curriculum is to ensure that Texas undergraduate students enrolled in public institutions of higher education will develop the essential knowledge and skills they need in order to be successful in college, in a career, in their communities, and in life.
Independent enquiry involves the ability to use and combine the entire spectrum of thinking skills from information processing to reasoning, from creativity to evaluation. Take a look at the QCA's definition for example.
Flags are offered across the curriculum so students learn about writing or ethical decision-making, for example, in the context of their own discipline. Courses with flags include substantial focus in one or more of the following areas: Cultural Diversity in the United States. Ethics. Global Cultures.
Skills and Experience Flags may be required to fulfill an undergraduate degree plan’s requirements. Students should refer to their catalog or consult their academic adviser to determine which Flags are required for their major, and to learn about how to earn each Flag in the process of completing the major, core, and other degree requirements.
The following criterion was developed and approved by the Faculty Council.
The following interpretation was developed by the faculty committee that oversees the Ethics Flag and was approved by the Undergraduate Studies Advisory Committee.
30-minute appointments can be made by visiting the front desk in-person, calling the main line at (512) 471-4920, or using the online scheduling link provided to you by your assigned advisor via email. Every Wednesday and the weeks leading up to registration are reserved for walk-in appointments only.
Academic advising is available on an ongoing basis, not just during registration periods. Advisors are available to assist with degree planning and course selection, help students who are struggling academically and non-academically, and provide information about UT’s numerous resources.
It depends. To be a full-time student, you must register for, and be enrolled in, a minimum of 12 hours at UT. Full-time status is usually necessary to receive financial aid, maintain eligibility for student employment (like being a TA), live in on-campus housing, compete on a University athletic team, be covered under parents’ health or car insurance, receive Veterans’ Benefits, or be an international student. Please consider whether you are affected in any way by part-time status before enrolling for fewer than 12 hours. Pre-health students should consider remaining full-time students for professional school applications. Taking elective courses is also a good way to explore other interests and enrich your experience at UT before you graduate. You can learn more about enrollment requirements in your final semester here.
If you do not meet the prerequisites for a course you are registered for in a future semester, you will be dropped from that class and will need to register for a replacement course.
Concurrent enrollment refers to the act of enrolling simultaneously at more than one college or university, including through online education. The College of Natural Sciences does not allow concurrent enrollment during fall and spring semesters for full-time students.
If you have credits from a community college or other institution, please send your transcript to UT. There will likely be a fee associated with ordering and sending a transcript from the other institution. It can take a while for transcripts to process, so please be sure to send it in as soon as possible.
Advisors CANNOT add students to a course that is already full. Students need to keep checking the availability of preferred courses/sections during all registration periods, including the add/drop period before a semester starts, to see if they open up.

Hi everyone! I have created a petition to build a statue for Domino due to his retirement this year, which can be found here. I'd appreciate some signatures on it! Hook em.
I remember seeing a lot of posts about people sitting alone in the dining halls so I came up with a possible solution.
Hi, this post is for anyone who is considering joining a business fraternity. I don’t know much about AKPsi or PCT, I am just here to warn about DSP. In the past year alone:
