Message from the President

July 7, 2020

Dear UTRGV Family:

On Monday, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued new guidelines related to online courses permitted for our international students through the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.

UTRGV is home to an average of more than 800 international students each year. All of them are valued members of our diverse university community, and we are committed to helping them continue their education at UTRGV.

As we review and interpret the new guidelines, rest assured that UTRGV will do all it can to ensure our international students aren’t affected by the new modifications and can continue their academic journey this fall. We are continuing to navigate this fluid situation, and we will keep the university community apprised of the latest updates and information.

If you are an international student, our Office of Global Engagement (OGE) will be reaching out to provide more information and additional guidance.

In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the new guidelines, please contact the OGE at (956) 882-7092 or (956) 665-3572, or email OGE@utrgv.edu.

Sincerely,

Guy Bailey
UTRGV President
