Frequently Asked Questions
CIR advocates for students who may be just below the GPA, SAT, and ACT requirements, but it is not guaranteed that the Office of Admissions will admit the student. For transfer students, the GPA requirement will vary depending on the major of interest, amount of credit hours accrued and cumulative GPA. For freshmen students, the SAT/ACT requirement will depend on the major of interest and the rank in class.
Another option for students that do not meet the admission requirements is to apply to the other locations within the UH system (UHD, UHCL and UH Sugarland). As long as students are enrolled in classes within the UH system, CIR can accept them into the community.
