Have you confirmed your mailing address in PeopleSoft? Beginning in January, the new smart Cougar Cards will be mailed to the designated address on file in PeopleSoft. To ensure that your card is being mailed to the correct address, faculty, staff and non-residential students are encouraged to confirm their addresses in PeopleSoft by Monday, December 9.

  • Faculty and Staff, here is the precedence of addresses that will be pulled from PeopleSoft
    • “Mailing” type then “Home” type
    • If you only have a home address this is what will be used
  • Non-residential students here is the precedence of addresses that will be pulled from PeopleSoft
    • “Mailing” type then “Permanent” type
    • If you only have a permanent address this is what will be used

To update your address

  1. Log into AccessUH –accessuh.uh.edu
  2. Select P.A.S.S HR – Faculty and Staff
    1. Select My Personal Info Tile
    2. Select and review addresses from the left hand menu
  3. Select myUH Self Service – Students

If you’ve already come in to pick up your card, please disregard any duplicate mailing that you may receive at your address on record. Your new “smart” Cougar Card will not only provide a more modern card program, but it will also improve building access flexibility and security throughout campus.

Similar to a debit/credit card, the new Cougar Cards you receive in the mail must be activated! Look for the new Cougar Card Activation icon in AccessUH; after a few clicks, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the features your card has to offer.
