DIRECT ANSWER

Incoming applicants normally pay a $100 nonrefundable application fee and a $300 housing prepayment before signing the contract.

UT Austin's current incoming-resident process lists a $100 nonrefundable housing application fee and a $300 housing prepayment due before contract signing. If the university admission application fee was waived, the housing application fee is waived and the prepayment is deferred. The $300 is an advance payment that is deducted from the housing contract amount.
