Enrolling at UHCL off-site or online programs
If you are planning to enroll in a UHCL program that is taught off-campus or online, you should select the program on the application that includes your preferred campus location (e.g. HSH–Psychology BS- Sugarland) or you may choose the online option (e.g. BUS-Finance MS-Online). It is important that you select the correct program, in order to receive important information relating to your chosen campus and to maintain accurate enrollment records. Please note that selecting off-campus or online programs will not prevent you from enrolling for additional courses at the Clear Lake campus.

Submit transcripts
Degree-seeking students should submit official transcripts from every college or university attended to the Office of Admissions. To expedite processing, request transcripts be sent electronically. Hand-delivered transcripts should not be more than 60 days old and in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution. International students should see International Admissions within the Office of Admissions for additional requirements.
Submit test score
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) must be met prior to admission for all undergraduate students. This requirement can be met in various ways. Most students have met this requirement by passing all three components of the TASP/THEA exam. The results should be noted clearly on your transcript. See our Web site and catalog for TSI exemptions.
If you were born or educated in a country where English is not the native language, you must demonstrate English proficiency prior to admission. You can meet this requirement by taking the paper or internet TOEFL exam, Intensive English Language Test (IELTS) exam, Pearson Test of English (PTE) or by successfully completing the ELS Intensive English Language program. Your minimum scores must be: 550 on the paper-based TOEFL exam; 79 on the TOEFL (iBT) exam ; 6.0 on the IELTS exam, 53 on the PTE exam; or, you can successfully complete level 112 in the ELS Intensive English Language program. Your scores cannot be more than two years old and only those received directly from the testing center will be accepted. You can also review the New Student Information section in our online or paper catalog to determine if you qualify for a waiver of this requirement.
International students are required to submit additional documentation. Please see International Procedures for a complete listing of required documents.
Non-degree seeking students should submit official transcripts from the institution where the highest degree was earned and from the last institution attended.
You can check the status of your application online by clicking the Check Status button on the admissions home page. You will need your user ID and password.
