Readmission for Former UH Students

Students who have taken undergraduate-level courses at UH are considered former students. This includes former summer visiting and post-baccalaureate students.

If a student previously completed undergraduate coursework at UH Main Campus, and they haven’t had an interruption of four consecutive semesters or 13 consecutive months between their last completed coursework at UH and the intended semester of entry, they may apply via General Petition. For more information, see the General Petitions Guidelines section.
