Distance and off-campus Education
In an attempt to meet this need for flexibility, the university offers classes in a variety of formats and in several convenient locations. Students can opt to complete a bachelor's or master's degree at centers close to their home or office. Alternatively, they can choose to take coursework online. Many of UHCL's degree programs offer Web-enhanced classes. Students and faculty can make use of the online environment to supplement traditional classes - decreasing the amount of time students actually spend in the classroom.
Distance and Off-Campus Education at UHCL facilitates and supports the delivery of UHCL courses, degrees and certificate programs as defined by the UHCL catalog.

Distance Education (DE) is any instruction that takes place outside the UHCL campus classroom setting. University of Houston-Clear Lake offers students the opportunity to supplement their on-campus coursework Classes offered through DE are regular UHCL classes taught by UHCL faculty with the same pre-requisites and requirements as classes taken on campus. Classes are offered in a variety of formats that provide options for students:
UHCL is committed to using the most current instructional techniques to ensure comparable learning outcomes between course work delivered in a traditional, Web-enhanced, or online format. It is recommended that students have their own computer with access to the Internet prior to registering for an online class. The university and off-campus centers have fully equipped computer labs that students may use.
Admission requirements are identical to those for students participating in degree programs on the UHCL campus. Students interested in participating in a distance education program must indicate so on the UHCL Application for Admissions. With careful planning and close collaboration with the DE Academic Advisors, students can earn their bachelor's degree in as little as two years. The DE Academic Advisors are available to assist students with the admissions process.
Each semester, students have the ability to review course offerings via the online search engine on the UCHL website. See CLASS schedule available online at www.uhcl.edu. For a detailed listing of classes offered at each off-campus center and online, go to the DE website at www.uhcl.edu/disted and click on course list.
Upon successful completion of the application process, students can register for classes online through E-Services. Tuition and fees can be paid by credit card or students can arrange to make installment payments. Students that register to take classes at an off-campus location must attend classes at that particular location.
UHCL provides quick and easy access to Financial Aid and Scholarship information to students at a distance. Eligibility for this assistance is the same as on campus students. All forms, complete list of scholarships, timelines and instructions are available online at the Financial Aid Web site. Financial assistance is available to distance education students, as it would be for on-campus students. Please refer to www.uhcl.edu/finaid for more information
