International Students :
English Requirement
English proficiency: For applicants whose first or native
language is not English and/or whose education instruction has not
been only in the English language, a valid, official TOEFL (Test of
English as a Foreign Language) exam score of a minimum of 550 written
exam or 213 computer-based exam is required, and must be on file
before admission will be approved. Photocopies are not acceptable. You
will need to request an official report to be sent directly to the
University of Houston-Victoria. Our school code is 6917.
Institutional TOEFL: The TOEFL exam is administered on selected
dates every year at locations around the world. In addition to these
international TOEFL exams, individual institutions such as the
University of Houston are also authorized to administer the TOEFL
exam. This TOEFL is referred to as an institutional or Satellite TOEFL.
It is essentially the same in content as the international TOEFL exam
but may only be recognized by the institutions that administer them.
UHV will recognize institutional TOEFL exams taken at one of the
University of Houston System campuses or other campuses approved by
the UHV Academic Council. Interested applicants should contact the UHV
Office of Admissions and Records.

they:
1. Have completed nine semester hours of lower division English in
an accredited US college or university, three of which must be in
composition and three in literature or
2. Have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher in an accredited US
college or university or

Under certain conditions, applicants who are
required to submit TOEFL scores may be tested again.
