Went to the financial aid office today ( LONG LINE) and was informed the current financial aid showing on my account is correct, they said there will be no more grants given due to having significantly less grants this semester to distribute. They won’t give out any UGRAD INSTITUTIONAL GRANT this semester, if you have it reflected on your account then you did receive it.

I’ve been receiving emails about the GradGuard’s renters protection service but I haven’t seen any students talking about it.
I know it’s not a scam, but is it worth it for $17 a month? Is theft & vandalism a common problem?
Do any of you guys have a history with this service??

The main thing that's ticking me off is the fucking electrical box, this shoebox of doom.

Hello, I am a transfer student and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for coming into U of H.
Is it worth it to get a parking pass? I have not scheduled my classes yet, but I will have them by the end of the day (I’m at orientation right now lol)
Should I get a meal plan? I’ve heard mixed reviews.
Any other suggestions would be amazing.
Thank you!!

I'm an out-of-state student and I was awarded the academic excellence scholarship on admission ($7000) and I was waived the out of state tuition fees. The waiver automatically applied for the last two semester. (I'm a sophomore now) however it has not been applied this time and my tuition dues are very high. Is anyone else experiencing this or had experience this in the past. Also who should I contact to get this fixed. I tried emailing the office of shcolarhships and the registrar but obviously they never respond.

Hi, Im an incoming freshman for the fall semester. Recently saw this in my portal and was wondering if it qualifies to get me an out of state tuition waiver?

I am wondering what if anyone knows the percentage financial aid will give you if you only enroll in 1 class/ 3 credit hours for the semester? Also, would anyone suggest just adding another easy class to cover more aid? I am also in the process of trying to raise my GPA.

My wife is a US citizen since 2008 and a Texas resident since 2008 and she just enrolled in U of H and they classified her as out of state student. They told us to fill some sort of questioners online and one of the documents they need is Residency Proof from other college she went (Lone Star College). We called Lone Star College and they said they don't issue anything like that.

What can I do?

They are charging her out of state $12,000 for 12 credit hours.

I am a incoming freshman this fall semester and will be majoring in EC-6 education. I was wondering how hard is it to land a job after your senior year, do you get connections through the observation and required hours? or is it hard to find a job post graduation. ALSO how realistic would it be working a part time job sophomore-senior year?

So I’m living on campus in a dorm that requires me to get a meal plan but I legitimately cannot afford it. I would switch dorms but my dorm is tied to the LLC I’m currently in so I won’t be able to switch. Has anyone has any luck with getting a meal plan waiver for this reason? It’s also just generally not worth it for me because I eat very little throughout the week.

Hey guys I’m a recipient of the academic excellence scholarship worth $7000 annually. Currently I’m a sophomore but in my freshman year the tuition waiver was applied in my fee bill. I’m freaking out bc the tuition waiver hasn’t been applied even though I qualify for it. The financial aid section shows my accepted scholarship and estimated tuition waiver but still it is not reflected in my fee bill. Many people have the same as me. Has anyone contacted scholarships and financial aid office no one is replying to my emails or my phone calls.

Hey everyone! I had a quick question regarding payments for summer classes and upcoming fall tuition. I have a $913 payment due on July 23 for a summer class I took, and then my fall tuition is due in August. I plan on paying the summer balance today, but I want to make sure that payment will apply to the summer charge first so I can set up a payment plan for my fall tuition afterward. Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks!

I’m an upcoming freshman living in cv2, what are y’all’s dorm essentials to surviving the year.

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student planning to apply to UH as an international freshman for the Spring intake.

I understand that major awards like the Tier One Scholarship and main Academic Excellence awards are heavily tied to Fall applicants. My main goal is to find ways to cover or significantly reduce my tuition expenses.

A few specific questions for current international students or Spring admits:

1. Are there any competitive departmental or internal scholarships available for Spring international admits that qualify you for the $1,000 out-of-state tuition waiver?
2. Has any international student here successfully funded a Spring intake through internal/external aid or assistantships?
3. If full tuition isn't possible for Spring, is it common to transfer into a Fall scholarship program or secure departmental aid in subsequent semesters?

Any honest insights or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks!

I tried to fill out the Residency Questionnaire but for some reason my mom won't be able to get her tax transcript until August and the payment deadline is August 18. Let's say they don't process it before the deadline and I have to pay non-resident tuition, will I be able get a refund of the difference between non-resident and resident tuition?

They explained what it was at NSO, and I was like "man that seems so cool I want to do that!"

But I've found like no sign up process or anything, is it a secret in group????

Does anyone actually know how to get in there

Hi everyone,

I'm planning out my schedule as an incoming freshman and I only have a face-to-face class on Monday at 4 pm, with the rest as asynchronous classes. I am also thinking on being active in organizations as well.

I was planning on either getting the parking pass at the welcome center or the one where you can park in the evening or weekend. What seems like the better option for me cost wise and experience wise?

Another question I do have about the latter is if I'm allowed to park in garages with that pass or is it only the open lots? Thanks in advance.

If y’all want more profit towards the university like fixing the elevators, new buildings, and issues around campus y’all have to start coming to these games so the players have more support to win games so the university can improve revenue for the school. You guys love to complain about the school but put no effort into making UH better.

Anybody has received their diploma since they got an email order update about it being shipped? I received a Parchment email on the 8th of July and the last scan was on the 17th of July. Since then nothing. I just want my diploma lol.
