Letter Request

Request a Letter

There are several reasons that a UHV international student might need a letter from the International Programs Office, such as graduation invitation letters for family overseas, driver's license enrollment and address verification, evidence of good standing letters, etc. Please note that some letters must be notarized. Letters needed for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) require notarization.

Note: In order for International Programs to issue the letter, you must be an enrolled student at UHV.
