Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an appointment in the Navigate Student app?
To make an appointment with your advisor or another support office, click the purple Appointments icon in your Navigate Student app, and then your college and your major or service. Click on an available appointment time and confirm your appointment. You’ll get an email reminder the day before your appointment and a text reminder 2 hours before.
Why are my login credentials not working?
Make sure to log in with your Cougarnet ID, not your numerical myUH ID. Your Cougarnet ID is normally your first initial and a piece of your last name. It would have been emailed to you when you registered for Orientation, so you may want to check your spam folder.
If you don’t remember your Cougarnet ID, or even if you are sure your Cougarnet ID and password are correct, the first step in diagnosing the problem from the technical end is to have you go to https://www.uh.edu/cougarnet-wizard/ and click on Forgot your CougarNet ID? You will enter your myUH ID, and then it will email you your CougarNet UserID.
If you are still not able to log in, send your full name, myUHID, and Cougarnet ID to navigate@uh.edu so we can troubleshoot.
I don’t see an open appointment time. What should I do?
In Navigate, time slots for advising offices open for the next 30 days on a rolling basis – so you’ll see 30 full days of availability, with a new day added at the end of that range every day beginning at midnight.
If you don’t see an appointment time that can be clicked, it is either because there just aren’t any left for that period, or because there are not any available when you don’t have courses – Navigate will not allow you to schedule an advising appointment when you are scheduled to be in class.
Some offices offer walk-in advising, so if you don't see an open appointment, click to "View walk-in times" or check back daily for appointment times that have opened.
Right before enrollment each semester is a VERY busy time in advising offices. Mark your planner to see your advisor very early each semester so that you can get your questions answered!
I am not an active student. How can I make an appointment with an academic advisor?
If you are not currently an active student or are seeking readmission, your Cougarnet ID is inactive, so you will want to contact your advisor directly – advisor contact information is here: http://www.uh.edu/provost/students/advising/ . Once you are readmitted and enrolled in courses, then you will be able to use Navigate to make future advising appointments.
I was just admitted to UH and I am awaiting New Student Orientation. How can I make an appointment with an academic advisor?
Welcome and Congratulations!
