Freshman Advising and Pre-registration for Classes

Pursuant to state law, the University of Houston System Board of Regents is authorized to set tuition. The Board will consider proposed tuition and fee figures at its May 2013 meeting.
The tuition rates for the 2013-2014 academic year will be finalized after the Board's action in late May.
The registration process at the University of Houston-Victoria begins in April with "pre-registration" where students can add classes to their schedule for Fall 2013. Once preregistered, a student's place is held in those classes. Students will be able to view Fall 2013 tuition and fees charges, in their myUHV account, beginning in July 2013. Registration will not be complete until the student's tuition bill has been paid by the deadlines established for Fall 2013.

Students must be TSI complete in Reading and Writing sections in order to participate in the registration days and sign up for classes. If you are unsure of your TSI status, please contact recruitment@uhv.edu or call 361-570-4865 for more information.

Students who don’t meet the established minimum passing standards for college readiness are considered TSI incomplete. Although being TSI incomplete does not affect your admission to an institution of higher education, it does affect your ability to pre-register for certain university classes.

Students who are TSI incomplete in math cannot take any university math-based courses until they have completed their TSI requirement. Most majors require at least one math-based course.

Students who are TSI incomplete in reading and/or writing must become TSI complete prior to taking college courses, since most courses have heavy reading/writing components.

Students can become TSI complete in various ways, including completing a foundational or developmental math class in the summer and having the transcript sent to UHV Admissions Office, or taking and achieving the required minimum passing standard on one of the state-approved TSI exams (e.g., Accuplacer, Compass, Asset or Quick THEA) through a testing center, making sure those scores go to the UHV Admissions Office. To take the exams at UHV, contact Rose Brett at 361-570-4288 for more information. Also, view our webpage on TSI at http://www/uhv.edu/oar/tsi.aspx.
