Graduation Information

You may request an informal audit of your CPS at any time during your academic career. Requests must be made in writing and results will be available within 2 days. Before you register for your final semester would be the ideal time to request a pre-graduation audit.


APPLY FOR FALL GRADUATION via E-services beginning August 22 through September 30.  Degree Conferral date will be December 10. Students who apply for graduation by the deadline will receive their formal graduation pre-audit from the SCE Academic Advising Office approximately 2 weeks after the graduation application deadline. All course substitutions, transfer credits, waivers and other changes must be approved using a CPS Change Form. If you have any deficiencies pending, please resolve them as soon as possible.  Academic Advisors can assist you with your questions and paperwork, but your CPS is the primary information resource concerning your degree. Also it is recommended that you compare your CPS with your DPR (Degree Progress Report) in your E-services account and notify an academic advisor if you have questions.  Although you should be enrolled ONLY at UHCL, if you are taking courses at another school during your final semester, you must have your grades reported to the advising office no later than the Official Closing date of the semester. All campus holds must be resolved before you can receive your diploma or order transcripts. You may check your graduation status via your E-Services account approximately one week after the official closing of the semester. Summer and Fall 2011 commencement ceremony will take place at Reliant Arena on December 17th.  More information can be obtained on-line at: http://www.uhcl.edu/records.

UHCL Communications
Email: SCE advisors and faculty communicate with students via UHCL Campus Email.  You have the ability to transfer your campus email to a private email account, but we use campus email for purposes of rapid communication with the most reliable security. Some communications may not be appropriate for email, and in those cases, we may call you or mail paperwork.  We urge students who log in to their campus email to REMEMBER to LOG OUT before leaving their computer!
Address/Phone: Students must update address and phone number information in order to maintain smooth communications campus-wide. Report a change of address or phone number via your E-Services account or by using a Personal Information Change Form. A Personal Information Change Form plus documentation MUST BE USED for name changes or correction of birth date.
Face to Face Communication: Our students have indicated in surveys – and we agree – the favored means of communication, if possible, is face-to-face during an advising session in our offices. If you have questions about your transfer credits, make sure you bring a copy of your most up-to-date transcript(s) when you walk in or make an appointment to meet with us.
We're here to answer your questions and assist you in every way possible. One of your best sources for self-help information is the UHCL Catalog!
  • The UHCL catalogs (one for undergraduate students and one for graduate students) contain so much information that is vital to your success – why would you not read yours from cover to cover? OK, we understand that a large percentage of UHCL students do not read the catalog, however if you at least read the front sections "Information for New Students" and "General Degree Requirements", and the "School of Science and Computer Engineering" sections (including course descriptions), you will be much more successful during your academic career. 
  • A special note from your academic advisors: we support and adhere to the university and school policies and procedures as outlined in the catalog.
