Important COVID-19 Updates

Test-Optional Policy - UHCL has approved a temporary test-optional policy to waive the ACT/SAT requirements for summer 2021, fall 2021, and spring 2022 terms. This means freshmen are not required to submit an ACT/SAT score to receive an admission decision, but are encouraged to submit scores if they have them. Applicants will not be penalized for not submitting ACT/SAT scores.

Enrollment at University of Houston-Clear Lake - Gain an understanding of our course modes as we move through the pandemic for the current and upcoming semesters. View enrollment and course mode information.

For applicants currently dealing with difficulties presented by COVID-19 (including school closures, cancelled tests, distance learning, lack of access to school documents or personnel, delayed results on AP/IB/national exams, or other circumstances), we encourage you to contact the Office of Admissions. Connect one-on-one with an Enrollment Management Counselor, schedule a virtual appointment.
