If you are below 22 years of age, you must submit proof of bacterial meningitis vaccination or exemption. The vaccine must be given no more than 5 years prior to the start of the term you applied for. The document must clearly state your full name, date of birth, vaccine name, date vaccine was given, and signature/stamp from the physician/facility that administered the vaccine. The document can be submitted online through Document Central or emailed to application@utrgv.edu. Exemption affidavits must be submitted in person or by mail.

Incoming students are required to take the TSIA2 assessment in order to register for college courses unless they are exempt. If you have taken the TSI exam, share your scores as soon as possible, regardless of what you scored. If your scores do not meet the passing criteria or we don't have a valid exemption/waiver on record by the time you attend New Student Orientation, you may be required to participate in JumpStart and start classes at UTRGV during the second Summer Session (July-August). For step-by-step instructions on how to share your TSI scores click here. If you are not able to share the scores, scores can be uploaded through Document Central or emailed to application@utrgv.edu.

If you enrolled in college courses while still in high school, you must submit an official college transcript from all the colleges/universities you have attended. Request your transcript(s) as soon as possible. It is strongly recommended to have your transfer coursework processed before signing up for New Student Orientation to avoid any potential registration issues. College transcripts must be sent directly from the college/university to UTRGV. Unofficial transcripts are not accepted. If you are still enrolled in a college course, we recommend you send the transcript with your pending coursework as well as an updated transcript once your grades are available.
