Do undergraduate students participate in research?

Students typically must register by filling a form “Registration Form and Record of Independent Study” which is available from Dean’s office. The type of projects vary, depending on the interests of faculty advisors and student, and include literature reviews, data analysis, lab work, field work, and any combination of these.

How do I apply for School of Science and Computer Engineering (SCE) scholarships?
UHCL scholarship applications are available in February. Scholarship funds are awarded the following school year. For available scholarships and application guidelines, please visit www.uhcl.edu/scholarships. If additional funds are available, SCE will offer additional scholarship applications in the fall. Those applications, historically done in September, are only available from the SCE Office of Advising. Contact your advisor at the beginning of each fall semester for more information.
What do I do if a class is full?
If it is a SCE course, complete a “Registration Override Request” form with the SCE Advising Office or call for email request. Submitting the form does not guarantee that you will be placed in a course; each request is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For courses in other schools, please contact their respective advising offices.
How do I get permission to take more hours during the semester?
For the fall and spring semesters, the university limits course loads to a maximum of 15 hours for graduate students and 19 hours for undergraduates. For summer, the limits are 9 hours for graduate students and 13 hours for undergraduate students.
To request a registration overload, the student must make a written request to the Associate Dean in the SCE. Submitting the request does not guarantee an overload will be granted. Each request is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Contact the SCE Advising office at (281) 283-3711 for more information.
Can I go back and take core and lower-level coursework I am lacking for my degree at the community college?
Yes, core curriculum and lower-level coursework can be taken at the community college after enrolling in courses at UHCL. No courses can be taken off campus in the student’s final semester at UHCL.
What do I need to do to prepare for graduation?
Students need to apply for graduation at the beginning of their final semester even if they do not plan to participate in the May or December commencement ceremony. Applying for graduation lets the university know you have completed requirements to receive your degree.
