Students from other universities have the option to apply to the University of Houston as a visiting student in the summer terms only.
Summer Visiting students may enroll in undergraduate courses during the open enrollment period as long as a desired course is open, they meet the course prerequisites, and have permission from their academic advisor at their home school and from the Office of Admissions.
Summer visiting students should apply as a summer visiting student. The student must be in good standing at their current institution and only their current institution’s official transcript is required. The deadline to submit an application and all required documents is May 1.
Check the UH class schedule online to make sure the course is available and open.
Note: Students who check availability before the open enrollment period begins may find that their desired course fills up during the initial enrollment appointment period. Remember, priority goes to degree seeking students, and students cannot be added to closed (full) courses.
Once admitted, there will be a hold placed on your record for the Texas Success Initiative, a state exam required of all degree-seeking students. Since you are not planning to be a degree-seeking student at UH, you must contact the University Scholars Program (UScholars) at 832-842-2100 to request a waiver/exemption form (sent via email).
Complete the waiver form and fax the form (and a copy of your fall schedule at your home school) to UScholars at 713-743-8998 as proof that you are a Summer Visiting student. They should remove the stop within one business day.
