Admissions Appeal Process
Applicants who are denied admission and not approved through the Admissions Review Process may submit a formal appeal to the Undergraduate Admission Committee. This committee, composed of faculty and staff, evaluates appeals on a case-by-case basis.
To initiate an appeal, the applicant must submit a formal Letter of Appeal addressed to the Admission Committee. The letter should clearly outline any extenuating circumstances that negatively impacted prior academic performance and provide evidence of the applicant’s readiness for future academic success.
Appeals must be submitted within 30 days of the initial denial and no later than 30 days before the start of the intended term of enrollment. Letters may be submitted via email to or mailed to:
Admission Committee
The University of Texas Permian Basin
4901 E. University Blvd.
Odessa, TX 79762
Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision approximately 14–21 days after receipt of the appeal. All decisions are final. Please note that application fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the appeal.
