If you received a GED, were home-schooled, attended a non-accredited high school or do not meet UHCL’s automatic or assured admissions criteria, you will be considered for admission through our Individual Review Process.

Individual Review

If you rank in the 3rd or 4th quartile of their high school class, who were home schooled or received a GED are required to submit the following information in addition to their application and SAT or ACT scores:
