Hi everyone I am currently working with a professor in political science on community outreach in elections we are looking for another student who knows how political systems work. This is a paid opportunity. If you are interested please reach out to me.

My email is sierrac6@gator.uhd.edu

Hey, im a freshman planning out my course load, and I was planning on taking 3 summer classes (regular session) in the upcoming summers. Although they will be easy common core courses, I will also likely be working, so I wanted to know the difficulty level of the summer courses.

I thought going to UHD would be a good thing for me because I get to stay home and simply commute. However I noticed that there is quite literally no social life that they’re always bragging and boasting about. The people here are very…interesting… Honestly I really think I don’t fit in. I haven’t had a good experience since attending here. There’s only very FEW good professors. On the flip side I graduate in December so is it really worth transferring to another school?

Its only week two and i already hate my lab professor! He is literally the most unorganized and unprofessional instructor i have come across!!!!!

Given the recent political climate, right now is a great time to get involved in collective action and mutual aid support on campus. We do need your ideas tho. Comment below, initiatives we could implement in the coming months to get people to come together and create community. Ideas can include collaboration with other groups. In the past, book-swaps or grocery bag donations to the food market have been successful. Low cost or up-cycle ideas wanted.

So i think i got financial aid but i’m not sure what the negative sign means. Do i still owe money? Or will that get refunded? Im confused. i also paid like $400 and got in a deferrment plan. What do the credits part mean?

Where can i find my classmates school emails?

Is anyone else not seeing the option to switch to calendar view for the classes on myuhd? I know i can add the classes to my normal calendar but if i don't double-check with calendar view it makes me super anxious.

I just want to know if anyone else is having the issue

Edit: i figured it out the option doesn't show up on mobile.

I’m a transfer student, and I have a question about my enrollment and financial aid. If I drop a class that starts tomorrow, will it affect my financial aid eligibility since I need to maintain full-time status? I’ve already found another class to replace it because I don’t feel ready for the original course.

Will dropping the class count as a class taken, or is there a specific timeframe, like a week after the class starts, to make adjustments without impacting my aid? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! So I remember during my orientation that someone mentioned UHD gives free groceries in a certain location. You just have to show your school ID. I also remember there being a limit? Could someone inform me again about this? Where the room is and how the system works?

Hi everyone, what are some good study areas in the main building and the shea street building?

I’m graduating in december and besides GPA cords and first gen stole, I don’t have anything else and would like to get some. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don’t mind joining clubs or doing initiatives, just preferably something not overly time consuming. Full time student and full time corporate employee. Thanks!

Has anyone here had to pay back grants because of academic probation? I used to be a student at UHD back in the fall of 2021 and the spring of 2022, however, I was on academic probation for both semesters. To be clear, never suspended. I never formally withdrew from classes, I simply stopped registering for classes and haven't gone since.

I'm now planning to go back, I already reenrolled and have been accepted for Fall 2025. However, I worry I may have to pay back the grants I was given for the 2 semesters I attended. Has anyone been a situation like this or similar?

I don't have the academic holds appearing on myUHD anymore and as of right now my balance is at $0, but I want to be extra cautious because I was granted a hefty amount of money.

Does the metered parking under I10 have a time limit? If so what is it? Also how much is the metered parking cost? Idk why I can’t find the actual amount anywhere

Last semester, a professor said that UHD will have a new elective on cyber security. Have they launched it?

Hi all. I'm on my way to changing careers and finally finishing my degree after fumbling pretty badly when I first started college 7-8 years ago. I did 2 semesters at UH, floundered in half my courses, and didn't return after getting put on academic suspension. I have since gotten my life together, and recently finished my A.S. at HCC with a 3.2GPA. I now want to complete my B.S. at UHD, but I'm wondering if the suspension from UH years ago will cause issues with admission/financial aid?

From my understanding, UH and UHD are part of the same system, but are distinct schools? Will my suspension carry over and cause me to be on probation for my first semester at UHD?

4th floor acad use to be a lot of study cubicle things now it’s this 😑

Hi, would anyone happened to have a copy of '? Discovering psychology the signs of the mind by Cacioppo or does anyone know where I could possibly pirate?The book

Does anyone know of any free parking or cheap parking at UHD? or at TMC? (Texas Medical Center) or anywhere near the train that passes by UHD?

Can I switch the course to one that is online right now? what happens to the courses that need it as a prerequisite/co-requirement will I get dropped from them? how does this work I assume no full refund for this?
Damn I did this for 2 of my classes any way the instruction mode changed after I had signed up? ain't no way I fumbled this twice
Wow. Im kinda malding it seems the instruction mode might have changed, for both of these courses the professors have an online alternative going on at the same time, for now I'm stuck due to a hold and can't swap to the online alternative.

This is my first semester at UHD and I’m considering taking the metro since I only have one class a week. I’ve been looking at the routes and the Katy park and ride’s closest stop seems to be a 20 minute walk to the SSB. I really don’t mind walking but with Houston and it’s crazy weather, what are my options? Could I possibly walk over to the rail and ride it a bit closer to campus or walk over to OMB and take the shuttle?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

just curious!

I'm taking a course this semester in person in the evening at 5:30(just one day), I've searched on this reddit and online and just want to confirm what options I have. This is my first year and work during the day so any guidance is appreciated 🙏.

My classroom starts with SSB, which I'm understanding as Shea Street Building, if that's the case, my best bet would be to get a parking pass for the vine street parking garage?

I am female so obviously safety is my first concern followed by proximity to class which unfortunately at UHD may not be possible.

Thank you for your suggestions in advance!!

Any alumni here actually go to any of the events that get planned for us? I want to attend but if 3 people are going these events then it would definitely be a bummer.

I truly don’t remember adding this professor on my schedule, I remember it being some other professor but this professors name appears now. I can’t find him anywhere nor on the school website! has anyone taken him?

I have a hold for financial delinquency, but when I talked to the cashiers office they told me it would go away once Fafsa got distributed… it’s the last day to pay for fees and I can’t sign up for a payment plan because of the hold. I’m afraid my classes will get dropped anyone else has had this problem before ?
