Individual Review
Students who do not meet the Assured Admission Criteria or Admissions Criteria with Requirements can be admitted through the University of Houston-Victoria's individual review process.
This process involves the UHV Admission Appeal that holistically reviews a student’s letter of appeal, two letters of recommendation from a High School Administrator, Educator, or Counselor, and official transcripts that support a student's ability to succeed at the University of Houston-Victoria. For more information, follow this link to the UHV Admission Appeal Policy.
Note: Students must graduate on the Foundation “Endorsement” or “Distinguished” High School program or a curriculum equivalent in content and rigor as the endorsement or distinguished program. Students who pass the GED exam will be recognized as satisfying the 2.5 grade point average (GPA) requirement.
