Prospective students should follow the following steps to apply for the admission to our undergraduate program:

Step one
Fill out the online application. The UHCL Office of Admissions will then send you a letter acknowledging your application. The letter includes an admission documentation checklist. It also has your student ID and password for access to UHCL E-Services. E-Services allow you to track your admission status and view an updated checklist.

Send all transcripts of previously attended colleges and test scores to:

Office of Admissions
2700 Bay Area Blvd
UHCL Box 13
University of Houston-Clear Lake
Houston TX 77058-1098

Submit optional "Letters of Intent," "Letters of Recommendation," or similar documents directly to our program chair Dr. Jack. Y. Lu. The Chemistry Program Admission Committee will review these documents.

The Office of Admissions will review your application files, evaluate the transcripts, and forward the entire application package to the Advising Office of the School of Science and Computer Engineering (SCE).

Step Two
The Advising Office will further review your transcripts for transferable hours, GPA, core curriculum, and program foundation courses completed, and prepare the application package for the admission review.   
Step Three
The Office of Admissions reviews and evaluates your application package. This process usually takes one month after you complete your application documents.
Students may use E-Services or contact the UHCL Office of Admissions (call 281-283-2500 or uhcl_applicants@uhcl.edu) or SCE Advising Office (call 281- 283-3711 or sceadvising@uhcl.edu) to track their application status. The Office of Admissions does not notify applicants when the application file is completed, so it is important for you to verify that your application files are complete.

The advising and admission section of the SCE website features additional details for applying to the Chemistry Program. Visit the future student section for general information.
