What is ut01?
ut01 is a student-built navigation homepage that consolidates all essential UT Austin links in one place. Created by Koutian Wu, a UT Austin PhD student (Class of ‘24) to solve the frustration of navigating deep university website hierarchies and dealing with frequent login timeouts.
Why ut01 Exists
As a UT student, I was constantly frustrated by:
- Deep Link Navigation: Simple tasks like checking dining balance required multiple clicks through complex menus
- Frequent Logouts: UT links automatically sign out, making bookmarks redirect to “Sign in with your EID” pages
- Scattered Resources: Essential student services spread across dozens of different portals
So I built this centralized hub that organizes everything students actually need.
