You are a transfer student if you:
are a student who earned 15 or more transferable hours of college credit after high school graduation (during fall/spring semester) and
do not qualify for readmission and
are a U.S. citizen, have applied for permanent residency, or qualify for Texas residency based on Senate Bill 1528
Requirements
Requirements
If a student has earned less than 15 hours of college-level credit after graduating high school, you'll have to meet freshman admission criteria to be admitted. Individual Review: The University of Houston individually reviews applicants who do not meet the assured admissions criteria. Coursework and rigor is taken into consideration by a faculty-led review committee. Transferable courses are college-level courses from regionally accredited colleges and universities. In order to determine admissibility, the Office of Admissions will calculate your cumulative GPA for all transferable college-level courses from all schools attended. For repeated courses, grades from all course attempts will be used for calculation of cumulative GPA. The cumulative GPA is for admission purposes only and will not transfer to your UH GPA.
