You must apply for readmission if you:

• were previously enrolled in undergraduate coursework at the University of Houston and
• are ready to return to UH after an enrollment pause of 13 months or longer or
• are ready to return to UH from academic suspension

Readmission Criteria

Readmission to UH will vary based on the following items:

• Your academic standing from when you last attended UH (good standing or warning/probation/suspension).
• The amount of time since your last enrollment at UH. Student records are discontinued after 13 months (three consecutive long semesters) of non-enrollment.
• If you are reapplying to your former major or a different major.
• If you have taken coursework outside of UH during your time away.
• Your GPA may be considered cumulative (meaning all college coursework attempted), or your UH GPA may be looked at separately from coursework taken outside of the University.
• Disciplinary actions and certain circumstances may impact or prevent enrollment or academic progress regardless of academic standing.

Readmission Pathway

The pathway for readmission of former students to UH is determined by the students’ UH academic standing and the 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 Guide to understand the readmission path that applies to your circumstances.

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:

• Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts
• Cullen College of Engineering
• College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

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.

Steps to Apply

If your enrollment has paused for less than 13 months and you're not academically suspended, then do not apply for readmission. You must meet with an academic advisor in your previous major to discuss course registration.

If your enrollment has paused for 13 months or longer or your academic standing is Suspended, then complete the following steps:

1. Complete the Undergraduate Readmission Application for UH using ApplyTexas.
2. Pay the nonrefundable $75 application fee with a credit card, debit card, or check. Checks can be made out to the University of Houston, 4434 University Drive, Houston, TX 77204.
3. Have your most updated official transcript from all colleges and universities attended sent to UH.
4. Some colleges require additional items to be submitted, please check your myUH account or visit our website to ensure that you send in all necessary documents.

Transcripts

Readmission applicants must submit the most updated official transcripts from ALL colleges and universities to attend UH. Choose one of the following options.

• EDI - Request an official transcript to be sent through an EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system, e.g. Speede (FICE code: 003662) or Naviance.
• PDF - You may also upload an official PDF copy of your transcript to your my.uh.edu self-service account to complete your application.

Official transcripts must either state “official,” have your institution's 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 are 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 Waivers

Timeline for Decisions

Decisions for readmission will vary for each academic college. 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.

Advising

Readmitted students will receive academic advising and enrollment guidance from their college after being readmitted. Following that advising, the college advisor will remove the "Readmit Advising" hold to allow enrollment. This advising hold will not prevent students from receiving an admission decision.

Archived Information

If you attended UH before 2005, your information was archived due to a system change. To provide you with the most accurate advising, your records will need to be de-archived. You must meet with an Admissions Advisor to submit this request and initiate the process.

Speak with an Admissions Counselor

Admissions counselors are experts when it comes to applying to UH. If you would like to talk to an admissions counselor for admissions support, we offer in-person and virtual advising by appointment. Admissions counselors do not provide support with course selection or registration.
