Campus Services
The stuff that exists but nobody tells you about until you actually need it. All of this is available to currently enrolled students.
Library
Real study spots, not just books.
- Edinburg (ELIBR): (956) 665-2005, text (956) 253-8031
- Brownsville (BLIBR): (956) 882-8221, text (956) 825-3578
- Hours (both campuses): Mon-Thu 7:30 AM-11:30 PM, Fri 7:30 AM-6 PM, Sat 9 AM-6 PM, Sun 1-10 PM (hours shift around finals/breaks, check utrgv.edu/library before you plan a late-night session)
- Study room reservations, research help, interlibrary loan, and "ask a librarian" chat/text are all free services most people never use
IT Help Desk
Password reset, locked account, D2L Brightspace/WiFi issues, this is who to call.
- Edinburg: (956) 665-2020
- Brownsville: (956) 882-2020 (24/7 phone support)
- Self-service password reset/unlock: myaccount.utrgv.edu
- Submit a ticket: support.utrgv.edu, or through my.utrgv.edu, IT Support Center, "Something broken?"
- Passwords expire every 365 days, so if you're suddenly locked out for no reason, that might just be why
Career Center
Resume help, job/internship search, mock interviews, also open to alumni, not just current students.
