Visiting Students

A Visiting Student (sometimes referred to as a Transient Student) can take undergraduate courses at the University of Houston, but is not seeking a degree. Students are getting a jumping start on their college coursework, are applying credit toward a degree at another institution, or may have already completed a Bachelor’s Degree and are taking pre-requisite courses as a Post-Baccalaureate student.

Admission as a Visiting Student is granted to:

• undergraduate students who are in good standing at their current or most recently attended college or university, OR
• high school graduates who have not earned college credit post-high school graduation, and have a minimum unweighted cumulative GPA of a 3.5

Visiting students are not eligible for Financial Aid
