OPSA Portal Information

OPSA Portal Workshops were held from October through February, including on non-class days.

If you did not attend a workshop, or you are a Former Student or a Reapplicant, you may request access to the Portal by submitting a Request to Be Added form.

Please work on your Portal Questionnaire diligently and thoroughly. We have Portal Office Hours where you can ask questions that arise while you are completing your portal. Office Hours are come-and-go and no registration is required. Join them at this link.

If your letter writer is not going to meet the deadline, THE LETTER WRITER will need to email our office at opsa-portal@tamu.edu as soon as possible request an extension.  The student cannot make this request for them; only the letter writer may request an extension. 

Sample Letter - we have provided a sample letter that offers helpful formatting and content tips, but in no way supercedes the letter writer's judgment or preferences. Letters should be dated, signed, and on official letterhead.  

If you have trouble logging in or have any questions regarding the portal, please email opsa-portal@tamu.edu

We have several workshops this spring and summer that will help you become a better applicant! Go to the OPSA Workshop page for dates and times.
