Check Application Status
Checking the status of your application is just three clicks away after you set up your UTRGV account. Our self-service student system called ASSIST allows you to see if your application has been accepted or if you are still pending items to complete your application. But before you are able to log in to check your status, you must activate your UTRGV account and set up your Vaquero Email. As an applicant, it is very important that you constantly check your Vaquero Email for updates on your application status.
ITEMS NEEDED TO ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT
To activate your account you will need your UTRGV Username and access to the Email Account provided in your ApplyTexas application.
Activate your Account
-
Click the "First-time user? Activate Account” orange icon
-
Enter the information requested (the alternate email is the email you provided in your ApplyTexas application) and click ‘Continue’
-
Check the email account provided in your ApplyTexas application for an email from accounts@utrgv.edu
-
Click the 'Go to UTRGV account activation!' link provided in the email
-
Review the Policy for the Use and Protection of Information Resources and click 'I Agree'
-
Set your security questions and click 'Continue'
-
Create your password
Important: It might take up to 5 minutes to have your password activated in our system. Please allow some time before trying to use your password to avoid locking your account.
Disclaimer for when an alternate email address is not found in the system when activating the account, options for student to update this would be: update on Assist (if account activation has already occurred and student can log in), submit Change of Information form to add a new email address and finally, contact U Central to have the alternate email address updated to one on file.
