ApplyTexas Application Technical Issues Alert

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.

    View the step-by-step instructions guide on creating an account first.​
  • Submit their admissions application fee ($35 for a domestic applicant and $80 for an international applicant).​
    • Current UHD degree-seeking students and alumni qualify for a graduate application fee waiver, as long as an application fee has not already been submitted. Once an application fee has been submitted it is non-refundable and good for one calendar year.

  • Submit official transcript(s)​ from institution(s) where their bachelor’s degree(s) or equivalent was awarded. If applicants attended a college or university outside the United States, their transcript(s) must be evaluated by a credential evaluation service recognized by UHD​ prior to applying for admissions to the university.
    • Current UHD degree-seeking students and alumni may request their current and/or final official transcript through the Office of Graduate Admissions at gradadmissions@uhd.edu​ for purposes of completing their graduate application file for initial review, as well as to render admission decision through the program to which the student has applied.
  • ​Additional supporting documents are required for each specific program; applicants should visit the program website for program requirements and other information.
