LATEST UPDATE
July 21, 2020
Until further notice, the University of Houston requires face coverings for all students and employees while on-campus. Learn more details regarding the policy.
UH Students and Faculty:
The updated class schedule is now visible through myUH self-service account. Students who enrolled before July 5 have received a new Fall 2020 enrollment appointment in myUH. Students who did not enroll in fall courses before July 5 are now able to participate in an open enrollment period.
UH Employees:
If you would like to voluntarily work on campus or access your office, you may do so following (1) completion of the COVID 19 mandatory training (log into AccessUH and click on TAP Employee Online Training); (2) passing a self-health screening assessment; and (3) approval from your chair/supervisor to work from your office.
We expect to begin Phase 3 reopening on Aug. 10. We will continue to monitor the situation and will announce the scope of reopening soon.
