Can I still graduate if I am unable to Pay $300?

As the title says, I am set to graduate on December 14th but I have an outstanding balance of a little over 300 dollars. That includes the graduation fee and a few vaccines I got from the health center. Is there a way that I could contest the vaccine charges or do a payment plan or something before graduation. I understand it’s also last minute, but any help would be appreciated.

Any Art Majors?

Hi everyone,

I’m a professional in the downtown area (never went to UH) but i’m looking for someone who’s an art major (in particular, someone who is in one of the Senior Painting classes) to commission a painting for my best friend and his wife for their housewarming. It’d be a simple painting (i think) that I’d like to give them as a present for their new home.

If anyone is interested and available, please let me know!!

Thanks!

Uh-in-4 Question

Hello everyone! I'm a pre-business freshman at UH. I'm in the UH-in-4 program and taking 15 hours this semester. Next semester, I want to take 12 hours at UH and 3 at CC for ACCT 2302. Would I still be eligible for the program or would I have to make it up by taking a summer class?

For background info, I came in with around 64 hours from dual credit. Thanks!

Changing majors after being admitted as a different major

So basically I started college as a business major at a community college and I changed my major to Computer Science this Summer. I took the classes which were needed for CS but when I applied for transfer to UH they admitted me as a Business major as most of my classes were from that major but the new classes I took from Summer included Calculus and Programming. But in my transcript there's only Programming as I am currently enrolled in Calculus for which i will be getting my transcript at the end of this semester which will be in 2 weeks. UH has already admitted me as a Business major and says they won't be able to change my major to CS until they see a Calculus grade on my transcript which has to be transferred from my Community College to UH after I have received it at the end of the semester in 2 weeks. Basically all this transcript transfer and UH taking time to process that will take time and the semester will start in January which wouldn't leave any time for me to attend orientation etc as a CS student (what they say) so they won't admit me as a CS major until I get that Calculus grade transferred. I wanted to know is there any other way of making this process quicker. Your advices are appreciated. I really want to start school at UH for CS but if won't admit me as a CS major I might have to take classes which for Business major which I won't be needing to graduate. All of this info was told to me by a person in admissions department. There are many things co-related as a transfer student. I cannot register for orientation s until I change my major etc which in turn won't let me register for classes.
Thanks for reading this far. Your help is appreciated in this situation.

Need Help with Dorm Costs & Scholarships – Any Advice Appreciated

Hi everyone,

I’m an incoming student at UH, and I was hoping someone here could help me out. I applied for a 1-bedroom dorm on campus and was wondering if anyone knows how much they usually cost or if they’ve had experience working with the housing department about affordability.

To give a little background, I’m a two-time cancer survivor (leukemia) and currently living on disability, which doesn’t give me a lot to work with financially. I also do dialysis overnight, so a private space would be ideal for my medical needs. My doctors suggested I reach out to see if there are any resources or scholarships available to students in situations like mine.

I’ve already submitted my application fee, but I’m not sure if UH would be willing to work with me further regarding payment plans or assistance for housing costs. If anyone knows of scholarships, financial aid opportunities, or even who I could contact for guidance, please let me know!

Thank you so much for reading. I really appreciate any advice or leads you can offer.

– Anthony

Application Fee

Good morning, I recently applied to uh through common app but when I went to check on the application status it said my application fee was needed. This confused me because I applied to other universities and it wasn’t needed. What do I do?

When should I expect to receive a decision from university admissions?

I submitted my application on September 19th for the MSc in Project Management but I have not received the admission decision yet. I am very worried, especially since the spring semester will start in January, and I need an I20 document in order to book an appointment at the embassy in time.

Spring Semester

Good morning, I am finishing up my spring semester schedule and could use some advice.

I have a class at AH 8:30-10:00 then a class at CBB 10:00-11:30 and last class 11:30-1 unknown location

Im hoping to make these classes since they were hard to get but am worried not enough time between to make it to the buildings and not be late or leave the class early and make a scene

Is this tight timeframe doable?

UH didn't receive my SAT scores?

I sent my SAT scores to UH back in April and November but I got an email saying that my application was incomplete because my SAT scores are missing. I sent an email back to admissions office asking about if they received my SAT scores more than a week ago, and they have yet to respond. Is there anything I can do? I'm concerned about my application status and if I'm still qualified for the merit scholarship because of my delayed additional information (SAT score).

Declined first major

I applied to Biomedical Sciences as my first-choice major, but unfortunately, I didn’t get in. However, I was admitted to my second-choice major, Psychology. Now, I’m wondering how I can switch to Biomedical Sciences later. Do I need to apply to the Honors College first, or is that separate? Also, would I need to submit an updated SAT score for the change of major process? I have a strong gpa with hood ecs soo i was wondering
