The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College - Admissions

Admissions

Until the northern hemisphere fall of 2011, UT Brownsville had open admissions, meaning prospective students had no admissions criteria. In August 2011 the University of Texas System Board of Regents approved new admission standards for UT Brownsville, and awaited the approval of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges. The end of open admissions left University of Houston-Downtown as the sole remaining Texas state university which had not yet abolished open admissions. The UT Brownsville closed admissions will begin in the northern hemisphere fall of 2013. The University of Houston System Board of Regents unanimously approved new admissions standards in February 2012, with closed admissions for UH Downtown also beginning in the northern hemisphere fall of 2013.
