As of the 2006-07 academic year, the majority of Jackson School undergraduates enter the school as incoming freshman who select geosciences during the process of their undergraduate application to The University of Texas at Austin. Students can also apply to the Jackson School later during their undergraduate careers but should be aware that the school only accepts a limited number of qualified transfers each year from other colleges at UT Austin, as well as from other institutions. This is a shift from previous years, when a majority of geoscience students entered the program after freshmen year.

Students apply to the Jackson School following the standard procedures for the university, as outlined in the UT Austin Undergraduate Course Catalog.
