    1. Apply for Financial Aid 

      Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and Texas Application for State Federal Aid (TASFA) to be considered for financial assistance at the University of Houston. All students are encouraged to apply and some merit-based aid may require completion of the FAFSA or TASFA.

      Be sure to check AccessUH and your email frequently once you submit the FAFSA or TASFA. Additional information or verification may be required to complete your financial aid award.

    3. Sign up for Orientation

      All new freshmen students are required to attend New Student Orientation (NSO) to learn about traditions, resources, and steps to success at UH. Moreover, you will meet with academic advising staff to discuss your degree plan and begin enrolling in classes. Attending orientation in the correct major is vital to your transition to UH. If you're interested in changing you major, please fill out the change of major form at least 2 days before your orientation session. If you were admitted, or applied for the summer term, you must request a term update prior to signing up for NSO.
