Undergraduate Programs
Frequently asked question regarding the interim undergraduate grading policy.
Should I elect to take a letter grade or S/NCR?
The College of Nursing Advisors would advise undergraduate students to take the letter grade you earned. Letter grades are important for your future. As you apply into competitive programs, such as nursing, you will need a grade. When you apply to competitive nurse residency programs after graduating from your nursing program, grades matter to the employer. When you apply to graduate programs to get a masters or doctoral degree, grades on your transcript matter. If you need to withdraw from a session 1 course the date for earning a “W” has been extended to April 10, 2020 this semester.
Make a good decision for your future. Study hard and make good grades so you do not have to retake courses. Your patients deserve the very best.
How do I determine if my private institution, out-of-state, or out-of-country credits will transfer to University of Houston?
If you received a degree, or have credits from a private, an out-of-state, or out-of-country institution you can apply directly to the University of Houston to determine if you have equivalent courses to the BSN degree or to determine if you need additional course work to satisfy UH core curriculum to satisfy BSN degree requirements per UH catalog requirements. Please refer to UH application deadline page to meet College of Nursing program Track application deadlines.
The RN to BSN track is offered at the University of Houston at Sugar Land, University of Houston at Katy, and face-to-face/web-enhanced classes or hybrid/online. This program is specifically for working registered nurses who have completed their associate degree and subsequent RN licensure to advance their professional qualifications while continuing to live and work within the Sugar Land and greater Houston communities.
The Second Degree BSN track is offered face-to-face at the University of Houston at Sugar Land. Admission to this fast track is every Spring semester. It is twelve-months long, intensive and full-time for people holding bachelor’s or master’s degrees in other fields who want to become registered nurses (RNs). This accelerated track is designed to facilitate a career change for the more mature and experienced student.
The Traditional BSN Track is designed for University of Houston students who want to apply to the nursing major beginning their junior year to become a registered nurse (RN). The freshman and sophomore years will be at the University of Houston. After gaining admission in the nursing program, the junior and senior years will be taught face-to-face at the University of Houston Katy location.
