General Information


Audit Student Registration

 

Approval to audit or visit a course is permitted, subject to completion of an audit application, seating availability and approval by the course instructor or school dean. Auditing normally conveys only the privilege of observing and does not include submitting papers, taking tests or participating in laboratories or fieldwork. An audition student will pay resident tuition and fee rates.  Late registration fees are not charged. Audit application forms can be obtained from the Bursar’s Office. Academic credit is not given for an audited course.


Emergency Closure or Partial Closure of Campus

 

Students are encouraged to listen to any of the television and radio stations for information on the status of the university during a weather emergency. Student should use discretion in determining when or if they can safely commute to and from the campus. The Office of University Advancement will keep media notified throughout any weather crisis to make sure the information reaches the university community in a timely manner. Student inquiries concerning campus closings can be made to the UH-Victoria switchboard at (361) 570-4848 or the Office of Student Relations at (361) 570-4135.
