How to Apply as a Transfer Student

The transfer application process considers factors like the number of college credit hours on your transcript and your grade-point average (GPA).

• All grades earned from college-level courses, including repeated courses, are used to compute the transfer grade point average.

• Applicable course work from regionally accredited U.S. institutions is accepted.

• Other course work may be accepted by review on a case-by-case basis, if equivalent to course work offered at UHCL and applicable to appropriate programs.

• Technical courses are not considered when calculating the number of hours completed.

• Plus and minus grade designations are not used to determine the cumulative transfer GPA. Remedial or developmental course work is not used in the calculation of the transfer GPA.

Applicants who have earned associate degrees must meet the university's transfer admissions requirements. Applicants who do not meet the transfer admissions requirements may be reconsidered through departmental review or admissions appeals.

Once you're accepted, you will work with our transfer counselors to ensure you get the maximum credit for the classes you have taken already and to plan your coursework at UHCL.
