Undergraduate Admissions> Readmission > Readmission for Former UH Students You must apply for re-admission if you:
Readmission CriteriaReadmission to the University of Houston will vary based on the following items:
Readmission PathwayThe pathway for readmission of former students to the University of Houston (UH) is determined by the students’ UH academic standing and length of time since they were last enrolled at UH. The readmission process may include additional documents and earlier deadlines. Please see the Readmission Student Application Guideto understand the readmission path that applies to your circ*mstances. The standards below apply to all undergraduate and post baccalaureate students. Students who entered under a previous catalog will be held to these standards. The following colleges have their own limits and definitions of academic standing or readmission requirements. Students are encouraged to review policies for their majors as they may be more stringent than the university policies. The dean of each college maintains final authority to determine academic standing for student majors within that college.
Academic StandingAssured Readmission under Good Academic StandingAssured readmission is granted for returning students whose cumulative UH GPA is 2.0 or higher (good academic standing). Degree Plan OptionsIf enrollment has paused for 13 months or longer and the former student is in good academic standing, the student is assured readmission to return to their original college or the student may choose to apply for readmission to a different college. For students returning to their former major, readmission will be under the most current degree plan offered. If choosing to apply to a different major, the student must meet academic standing and change of major requirements for the specified major. Application ProcessIf enrollment has paused for 13 months or longer and the former student is in good academic standing, the student must apply for readmission at Apply Texas Application. Applying for readmission is the process used to identify new information (e.g. contact, demographic, transfer credit… etc.). After readmission, the student must meet with an academic advisor in their admit major to address any advising holds as well as discuss course selection and registration. Guided ReadmissionReadmission consideration is provided for students whose cumulative UH GPA is below 2.0 (academic standing is Warning, Probation, or Suspension). Applicants may be considered by college review. Degree Plan Options
Application Process
Steps to Apply
TranscriptsChoose one of the following options.
Official transcripts must either state “official,” have your institutions seal, a signature by a school official, or an official watermark. It’s up to the discretion of the Office of Admissions to determine the validity of the transcript, and the office reserves the right to request additional or different copies if needed. Please review your myUH To Do List for a live update on which transcripts are needed. If any of the transcripts we have on file from when you last applied have in progress courses or are not in line with the dates you provided on your most recent readmission application, we will need an updated transcript from the institution. Fee WaiversReadmission students are not eligible for fee waivers and must pay the application fee for the term in which they are applying. You can pay your application fee when you’reapplying via Apply Texas or the Common App or via your myUH account once your application has been received. It is important to note that you are only eligible for review for the semester in which you apply. If you are denied or are interested in a different term, you will have to pay the $75 application again. DeadlinesVisit the Deadlines page for a listing of when the admissions application and supporting materials are due. Timeline for DecisionsDecisions for readmission will vary for each academic college. Please note that there is no average timeline for a decision, and you will hear directly from the Office of Admission once a decision has been rendered on your account. It is important to submit all application materials early to avoid delays in your decision timeframe. AdvisingReadmission applicants are required to see the academic advisor of the major in which they are applying to. Your academic advisor can give you guidance on whether you are admissible to the college you have selected and what courses you would be required to take upon admission. Readmission applicants may see a Readmit Advising hold on their myUH account which will only prevent you from registering for courses if admitted. This advising hold will not prevent you from receiving your admission decision. Archived InformationIf you attended the University of Houston prior to 2005, your information was archived due to a system change. In order to provide you with the most accurate advising, your records will need to be de-archived. You will need to meet with an Admissions Advisor to submit this request and initiate the process. |
