Voter Registration Information

The 1998 Higher Education Act requires all post-secondary institutions to make a good-faith effort to distribute voter registration forms to each degree- or certificate-seeking student who attends classes on campus. The forms, which are supplied by each state, must be distributed before the registration cut-off date for every federal and gubernatorial election, as well as special elections for federal office.

UCAS University of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences recognizes the need for responsible citizenship. Part of this responsibility includes the necessity to participate in federal, state and local elections. To comply with the Higher Education Act, students receive an email that provides them with information about how to register to vote.

Register to Vote

Any student not registered to vote may obtain information at votetexas.gov. If you are interested in volunteering to register to vote, or becoming registered yourself, please contact the Legislative Affairs Chair.
