Apply To UHCL
When University of Houston-Clear Lake opened in 1974, we built our school with transfer students in mind. We didn't even accept freshmen or sophomores into our programs until 2014. That means we have plenty of expertise working with community colleges and other four-year institutions to make your transfer process easy.

COVID-19 Update
Test-Optional Policy
UHCL has approved a temporary test-optional policy to waive the ACT/SAT requirements for fall 2020, spring 2021, summer 2021 and fall 2021 terms. This means freshmen are not required to submit an ACT/SAT score to receive an admission decision, but are encouraged to submit scores if they have them. Applicants will not be penalized for not submitting ACT/SAT scores.
For applicants currently dealing with difficulties presented by COVID-19 (including school closures, cancelled tests, distance learning, lack of access to school documents or personnel, delayed results on AP/IB/national exams, or other circumstances), we encourage you to contact the Office of Admissions.
For university and health alert updates related to Coronavirus (COVID-19), please visit the UHCL Health Alert webpage.

Paying For College
You've already been to college, so you know the academic side is challenging enough without having to worry about finances. At $1000 per semester, our Automatic Transfer Scholarship might make things little easier! You must:
- Be a new degree-seeking undergraduate transferring from a college or university;
- Transfer 30 or more credits to UHCL; and
- Possess a transfer GPA of 2.75 or above.
If you want to know more, our financial aid office is ready to have a conversation with you about paying for college.
