As stated in the Nondiscrimination Policy, it is the policy of The University of Texas at Austin to provide an educational and working environment that provides equal opportunity to all members of the University community. In accordance with federal and state law, the University prohibits unlawful discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, citizenship, veteran status and genetic information.

All courses or events offered through TACC must be paid for at the rate established by TACC. See Registration & Payment for information about how to register and pay for your course.
TACC offers non-academic credit courses and is therefore unable to provide a Form 1098-T to students. Please retain your confirmation of enrollment and payment receipt for tax purposes. In some cases, participants are eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit. For more information, please visit the Internal Revenue Service website.
Pre-Work Assignments Some courses and programs include assignments that are to be completed before the course or event start date. If your course or program includes pre-work, the assignment(s) will be emailed to you in advance of the start of the course.
Zoom links will be provided after registration.
Location and parking-related information will be provided on the event page.
TACC is committed to creating a welcoming learning environment for everyone. We work with UT Austin’s Disability and Access (D&A) office to provide appropriate accommodations to students with disabilities. The purpose of accommodations is to ensure all participants have equal access to and the opportunity to benefit from all UT Austin educational programs. If you require special accommodations or assistance, please email a request to TACC-Program@austin.utexas.edu at least two weeks prior to your program or course start date so that we will have time to process your request. Documentation may be requested.
Workshops and events must obtain a minimum number of enrollments in order to be conducted. If your workshop or event is canceled due to low enrollment, then we will notify you via email as far in advance as possible. TACC reserves the right to substitute instructors, change course and program dates, change the modality and/or cancel any program due to insufficient enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. TACC is not responsible for any travel or lodging expenses incurred by participants. Please contact us at TACC-Program@austin.utexas.edu or visit the program website for confirmation that your program will be conducted prior to making travel arrangements. In the event of a cancellation, you may request a fee transfer to another course, workshop or event within one year of enrollment or request a full refund. Please allow up to seven days for processing the refund from the date of the request.
If a workshop or event is delayed or canceled due to inclement weather or any other unforeseen circumstance, you will be informed by email as far in advance as possible. The instructor or another TACC staff may follow up at a later time with information about alternative plans. We are not responsible for travel-related expenses in the event of a cancellation due to inclement weather. For events held on the UT Austin campus, TACC typically follows the university operating schedule, which can be found on the university Emergency Information web page.
TACC workshops, events and courses do not appear on official UT Austin academic transcripts, nor do they yield academic credits and cannot be transferred for credit in an academic degree program. In lieu of academic credit, TACC courses and events confer Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours.
Please visit each workshop, event, or course web page for a listing of CPE hours awarded upon completion. In order to earn CPE hours and meet the requirements of professional education certifying bodies, you may be required to meet attendance requirements and demonstrate knowledge of course material. Any participants with outstanding financial obligations to TACC will not be awarded CPE hours until their obligations are settled.
Coming soon.
Refund and transfer policies vary by course and program. See details in the checkout process and on your receipt.

Withdrawals that occur six days or fewer to the event are eligible for a 50% refund of registration fees. No refunds will be granted after the event. Substitutions are permitted.
Administrative fees may be assessed and are non-refundable. Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal.
TACC strives to ensure a safe and effective learning environment for everyone. As a participant in TACC’s courses and programs, you are expected to conduct yourself with professionalism, courtesy and respect toward all other participants, instructors and staff. Behavior in violation of this expectation could result in warnings and/or dismissal from current or future courses or events.
A fundamental principle for any educational institution, academic integrity is highly valued and seriously regarded at The University of Texas at Austin. More specifically, you and other participants are expected to maintain absolute integrity and a high standard of individual honor in work undertaken at the university.
If you have a grievance, you are encouraged to seek informal resolution with the other party as a first step. Participants can also contact Carol Fletcher, Director of Expanding Pathways in Computing at TACC, if there is a concern that cannot be resolved informally. If the grievance cannot be resolved through informal resolution or through TACC, you may submit a written complaint to cpe@austin.utexas.edu. In general, written complaints should include a statement of the issue, provide any supporting documents, and state the desired outcome. After reviewing the information provided, CPE will inform you in writing when a final decision is made. You may also contact the customer service line at 512-232-6520 at any time for assistance in resolving a grievance.
