All the ones I can find are invalid, so if anyone has a new link, would be very much appreciated. Also, are there any important things that need to be done before enrolling in classes in January? I saw that we need to send transcripts, but I originally sent them through Parchment and according to MyStatus, it says that I sent official transcripts so I think that should be that.

Anyone know what the next steps are after accepting the admission offer?

Beyond just sending the official transcripts

Haven’t seen any. Applied mid august. Still haven’t heard back. Pls share your stats!

Hi everyone,

I’m starting MSCSO in Spring 2027 and want to use the next couple of months to prepare.

Background:

• BS in Systems Engineering (graduated 2024)
• Took Calculus, Linear Algebra and Probability/Statistics in undergrad, but it’s been a few years
• Working full time as an AI Engineer, so I plan to take 1 course per semester

Looking for:

1. Math refresh: What resources helped you get back up to speed on linear algebra, calculus and probability before the program? Books, courses, YouTube, anything that maps well to what the courses actually expect.
2. First semester course: Which course would you recommend as a first one for someone working full time? I’m leaning toward Advanced Linear Algebra for Computing, but open to other suggestions. Any courses to avoid as a starter?

Thanks in advance!

I have my CS degree from western governors university (done in 6 months), a ms in analytics (completed last week that took 1 yr) and have been eyeing a MS in CS. Wondering as someone who just started getting into CS, last year basically, starting as a data analyst, how difficult is this program overall especially working full time. anyone here failed a class or dropped out?

I was recently admitted to the online MSCS for Spring 2027 and work full time and didn't do undergraduate research, so I'm hoping to find out whether online students can get research experience. I don't mean a formal thesis track, just working with a professor or lab in some capacity.

Have any of you done research as an online student and how did you get started?

I couldn't find much about this online, so any experiences would be really helpful. Thanks

Hey everyone. I just got accepted (yay) and am trying to create a roadmap for the courses I will take.

For my first semester, I'm thinking of Reinforcement Learning and Natural Language Processing. Based on the reviews and course relationship diagram from https://mscshub.com, it seems like that would be doable, but I figured I'd ask as a sanity check.

Is there any reason why these two wouldn't go well while working full-time? For reference I am a junior-level SWE with a CS undergrad, and have limited hands-on AI/ML experience, but am already comfortable in Python.

Thanks!

As the title suggested

I was just admitted into MSCSO a few days ago for Spring '27, and I was wondering if anyone had any course recommendations for my first semester. I am thinking about taking two classes while also working full-time. I have a fairly strong math/theory background from my undergrad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m confused if I’m getting less response now that I’ve included “part time masters” on my resume or if the market has been worse this month. I was getting good responses from may - Jul without mentioning the masters on my resume. Does anyone know if recruiters don’t like you doing a part time masters while looking for a full time?

Question for international MSCSO students who are fully online and not on a US visa.

UT info says F-1/J-1/J-2 are auto-enrolled in UT health insurance at registration and charged mid-sem. Waiver deadline is Sept 4, 5pm CT.

My course is 100% online, I don't have a US visa, and I didn't get any email from Texas Global. There was also no registration step for us.

Does this auto-enrollment even apply to us? Has anyone in the same situation been charged or had to file a waiver?

How do you check enrollment status — What I Owe / MyUT?

Thanks.

1. I am currently pursuing a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from India, which is a four-year degree program. However, I entered the program through lateral entry as a diploma holder, allowing me to join directly in the second year and complete the degree in three years. As a result, I will have transcripts/marksheets for semesters 2 through 8. Would I be considered eligible under UT Austin four-year bachelor's degree requirement in this situation?
2. I plan to apply for the Fall 2027 intake and expect to complete my B.Tech. in May 2027. At the time of application or enrollment, I may not have received my final degree certificate from my university. Would UT Austin accept a provisional degree certificate or equivalent official documentation until the final degree certificate is issued?

Hi guys,

Now that the semester is about to start, is there a discord group or chat ? This is about to be my first semester. I would love to connect with new folks.

I’ve been unable to register for Fall 2026 MSCS Online courses since yesterday due to a "registration not open" error.

Is registration open only during specific hours, or is there another requirement I’m missing?

Hi everyone, this semester, I have some down time before starting a new job mid-semester. Does anyone have any suggestions for classes that release all material at the start of the semester that I could work on while I am not working? Trying to see if I can fit in a second class this semester. I have already taken DL, ADL, and PSRUU. This is for CS program.

Hi pl share any active discord links for mscso, starting this semester but very little communication till now. I have successfully registered for course and paid the fees

Is there any orientation or onboarding email i should expect?

I’d like to apply but we are passed the priority deadline but not the final deadline. So I’m filling out an application but I don’t know if I will get in. In case I don’t and want to apply during the next round of applications, do I need to fill out the entire application over again? Of course, I can reuse the same SOP, recommendation letters, etc.

By the way, does anyone know the fraction of people that get offers who apply after the priority deadline?

Thanks!

I was admitted into UT Austin, and did not apply to Georgia Tech OMSCS because of some personal work that work in the way; I would like to start the masters in UT Austin, but as a general question, are classes/credits between the transferable?

What book most closely matches what is taught in Implementation of Programming Languages?

I have already graduated from this program in 2024, but there are still a few courses I am interested in taking like parallel systems, simpl, etc. Is it possible?

Hi,

Current applicant for the IMME (Masters in International Management, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship) at OVGU. My application status is still “In Progress”
Anyone else in the same boat? When is the status expected to update?
