University Of Houston Victoria

Other Information

• Other information: I see that you have listed many questions that you wish to have answers prior to applying to UHV. The questions are in different areas, such as Admissions, International Programs, Financial Aid, Student Life, Title IX, Housing and Campus Police. I can totally relate to complexities of the application process for U.S. colleges/ Universities as I was or still am an International student myself. I was 16 when I started the research on universities, the admissions, financial aid, and lot similar questions which you are asking below. Coming from a different academic background, all the information was a puzzle to me. What we can do is, we can arrange a virtual meeting for you and possibly a workshop to assist you how to complete the application, how apply for TAFSA, Financial Aid and grants as well as answer all of your questions which you stated below. We can answer yours, your family’s questions in English, Spanish or both or check if we can host in other languages. We can arrange this meeting in less than 24 hours or the virtual meeting can be on the same day. It is absolutely easy to answer your questions in an email. It will be a long email with multiple pages and paragraphs. Reading the answers in an email and reading the information on a website is the same. Some questions cannot be answered in one sentence with a bullet point. UHV strives in providing one-on-one attention to all of our students. This is why UHV is unique and why students selects UHV. Meeting and talking to you will give us an opportunity to meet with you and help you to navigate the complex application and possibly connect you with other DACA/ Undocumented students (with their permission) for you to ask questions yourself and build a network prior to enrolling at UHV. You can visit our Virtual Lobby online or schedule a virtual meeting, all you have to do is follow the links mentioned. If you wish to talk to an official at each of the departments which I mentioned above then let me know few dates/ and times and I can coordinate the meeting (herathl@uhv.edu). You may have many friends who are also DACA/ Undocumented students. You are welcome to invite your friends who are DACA/ Undocumented, parents and families and we can host a workshop either virtually or face-2-face. We can host the meeting in English, Spanish or both. If there are other language preferences we can check if we have faculty members to assist with other languages. We have faculty and students from Bangladesh, China, India, Jordan, Lebanon, Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, Sierra Leon, Kenya, Japan, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and many more. Before COVID, International Programs and UHV Admissions hosted numerous workshops for DACA/ Undocumented students and their families as well as mentored undocumented students for work related experience or in other words job shadow experience. I encourage you to complete your research among other Texas institutions as well as out-of-state institutions to get a comprehensive knowledge of how the application, financial aid and student life works at U.S. colleges and institutions as well as to check the best package you can receive for your academic, and professional credentials to pursue your academic endeavors. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
