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.

To activate your account you will need your UTRGV Username and access to the Email Account provided in your ApplyTexas application.
