Check Your UTRGV Email Regularly
Before classes start, some professors email information about the class or the textbook. If a class must be cancelled before the semester, you will be emailed to adjust your schedule.
Buy Your Textbooks Before Classes Start
Buy your books at least 1-2 weeks before classes start. UTRGV has its own Campus Bookstore at both campuses for your convenience!

Check Your Schedule and Map Your Classes
Once you've registered, make sure to regularly review your schedule. Triple-check to ensure that the class location and times haven't changed. utrgv.edu/maps
Avoid Getting a Parking Ticket
Buy a parking permit at Parking and Transportation Services on either campus or order it online through ASSIST. Check out the parking maps at www.utrgv.edu/parking to ensure you park in the correct lot. Lastly, give yourself a good amount of time to park!
