Readmitted Students - University of Houston

We look forward to you returning to UH!

If you have just been placed on Academic Suspension: please carefully review the USS Suspension Information page to prepare an informed path for your return.

If you have been away from UH for longer than 13 months, or you were placed on Academic Suspension: your academic record will be inactive, and you will need to reapply to UH as a former student.

  • Carefully review the readmission process, criteria, and deadlines to make sure you are ready to reapply.
  • See the Readmission Student Application Guide to understand the readmission path that applies to your circumstances.
  • Readmission into the Undergraduate Student Success majors Exploratory Studies and Integrated Studies is automatic for all former students.
  • If you have any questions about the readmission process, you can reach the UH Admissions office at admissions@uh.edu
  • Students may reapply to Exploratory Studies in order to work toward a later major change to some majors. The timeline to prepare to change majors will depend on your academic profile and major goals. Your options to change majors, either back to your previous major or to any other major with additional admissions requirements, will be limited based on the number of hours you have completed, the specific course grades you have earned, and your UH cumulative GPA. It may not be possible to change to certain majors.
  • Students may decide that degree completion through Integrated Studies is a more viable path forward to graduation.

If you were in Good Academic Standing when you left UH (cumulative GPA 2.0 or above):

  • Once you receive your admissions decision, you are free to enroll immediately, once your enrollment period for your admitted semester is open (check your myUH Student Center, right side).
  • Use the Academic Map for your major or intended major as a guide to select courses.
  • Confirm courses you have taken in your myUH Self Service.
  • To make an appointment with an advisor, click the purple Appointments icon in your Navigate Student app, select Undergraduate Student Success, and look for available appointment times. However, if enrollment has already started for your admitted semester, don’t wait for your advising appointment to enroll. When you meet with your advisor, you can confirm your enrollment choices or add/drop courses as needed up until the semester begins.

 If you were NOT in Good Academic Standing when you left UH, meaning you were on Academic Warning, Probation, or Suspension (cumulative GPA below 2.0): 

  • You will receive an admissions decision email with a link to the Undergraduate Student Success Readmission Self-Appraisal form.
  • Review the self-appraisal items ahead of time so you can plan your responses.
  • When you are ready to begin, respond to ALL items. All responses are expected to exhibit college-level grammar and composition standards.
  • Expect completion of the Readmission Self-Appraisal form to take a couple of hours. Through the self-appraisal process, you will take a serious and honest look at your past performance, any challenges you may have encountered, and your path and timeline to a degree-granting major, so that you can confirm whether returning to the university is the best plan for you at this time.
  • Submit the Readmission Self-Appraisal form no later than one month before the first day of the readmitted semester. Forms submitted later than this deadline may not leave enough time for you to receive readmission advising and enroll in classes in time for you to be successful in your returning semester.
  • Once you submit the Readmission Self-Appraisal form, you will be contacted at your UH cougarnet email address within 3-5 business days to schedule a Readmission Advising appointment with an advisor.
  • While you are waiting to meet with your advisor, here's how you can plan ahead: 

 Your success is our primary goalBest of luck as we anticipate your return to UH!
