Parent Institution Letter

The Parent Institution Letter (PIL) Request Form is required for military-connected students who are enrolled at the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) as their parent institution (degree-granting school) and plan to take courses at another college or university (guest institution). This form allows UHCL to verify that the requested courses taken at the guest institution apply toward the student's degree program and authorize the guest institution to certify those courses with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for education benefits.

Students must submit this completed form each term they wish to take courses at another institution. A Parent Institution Letter will only be issued for courses that are part of the student’s approved degree plan.
