Applying to UHD

Students may experience technical errors when accessing or submitting the state-wide ApplyTexas application. UHD is aware of these issues and is communicating with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to resolve them as quickly as possible. Currently, there is no estimated timeframe for resolution of all reported issues.

Guidance for Students:

• If you can access the ApplyTexas application, please save your application frequently.
• If you cannot access the ApplyTexas application, please try again later.

Reporting Issues:

• Report errors by submitting a UHD Student Assistance Request Form. A UHD staff member will contact you within 24 hours.
• Please note that UHD cannot guarantee an immediate fix for issues with the ApplyTexas application, as it is managed at the state level.
• You may also report errors directly to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board using the ApplyTexas Help Desk Form.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.
