Returning Students
Welcome back, we are excited that you are looking to continue your education.
We are hopeful as you return to class that you will be supported and encouraged to complete your degree.
Over One Year Since You Enrolled In Class?
If it has been over one year since you have enrolled in class, you will need to reapply for admission. Before beginning the re-admission process, we courage all students to connect with Academic Advising to discuss your degree progress and remaining degree requirements before beginning the re-admission application process.
Less Than One Year Since You Enrolled In Class?
If it has not been over a year, you may still be an active student and have access to registration.
Previously Graduated From UHCL?
If you have graduated from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and considering a Graduate Program or Post Baccalaureate Teach Certifications you will need to apply for admission as a new incoming student.
Important Notice for Returning Students
If you have been placed on academic suspension, please follow the Reinstatement Process before beginning the re-admission application process. If you are suspended, you will not be able to enroll, audit or visit classes for a period of time, as follows:
- First suspension - one semester
- Second suspension - one year
- Third suspension - after one year
Students who are in academic suspension standing are not eligible to obtain a re-admission decision. Students who are in academic probation or good academic standing are eligible to re-apply and obtain a re-admission decision.
Application Process for Returning Students
