Former UH Students
Students who previously attended UH-Main Campus and wish to return but have not attended within the last 13 months must reapply to UH. Students must meet current Bauer College reentry requirements, as well as a minimum GPA on their previous coursework. Former undergraduate students who are returning from Academic Suspension (more information about Academic Suspension available at the UH Catalog) must reapply regardless of when they last attended UH. Students will also need to meet college-specific re-entry requirements and deadlines.
This process occurs through the UH Office of Admissions. For complete information, visit: www.uh.edu/admissions > Former Student Admissions
Guidelines for Readmission from Suspension for Business Majors
Things you can do during the time you are away from UH to your advantage:
- Reflection: Self-appraisal of your strategy and timeline will help plan for your return and provide information for advising sessions. Write down a list of the factors that contributed to your academic challenges: Did you have financial concerns? Did you have challenges with living arrangements? Did you struggle to establish good learning habits? Do you need the flexibility of an online program (the B.B.A. offers a 100% online degree for each of the seven majors through UH Extend) or do you do better with the interaction of a regular program and face-to-face classes (but with the option for online classes along the way). Then brainstorm solutions to each challenge that will allow you to be a successful student.
- Taking Courses Elsewhere: You may choose to take courses at another institution but proceed with caution.
- First, make sure you take only courses on the Academic Map for your intended major so you continue toward your graduation path. (Note that courses taken at out-of-state institutions are not guaranteed to transfer as direct UH course equivalencies.) Confirm courses you have taken in your myUH Self Service.
- Second, remember that when you submit your official transcripts to UH, your credit will transfer but your external GPA will not. In other words, taking courses elsewhere will neither improve nor hurt your UH GPA.
Do these things when you’re ready to come back:
- Prepare well in advance - pay special attention to the posted deadlines for the semester you intend to return.
- Reapply for readmission by completing the admission application.
- Email bba@uh.edu from your UH email and request an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss your path and timeline to a degree-granting major. Be sure to included your UH ID number.
- Because Bauer College has special readmission criteria, your readmission into business is not guaranteed. Students may decide that degree completion through a B.S. in Integrated Studies is a more viable path forward to graduation. Readmission as an Integrated Studies major is automatic for all former students, and offers the option of a Business and Consumer Science concentration, allowing you to take business courses.
- If you have any questions about the readmission process, you can reach the UH Admissions office at admissions@uh.edu.
Your success is our primary goal. Best of luck as we anticipate your return to UH!
