Faculty COUNCIL


Welcome to the University of Houston Faculty COUNCIL

Welcome to the pages of the UH Faculty Council website. Here, we hope you will find the informational resources you are looking for. Our goal when developing and managing this website is to bring under one umbrella a variety of links and resources that might impact the day-to-day work of a faculty member. Of course, we wish to also provide information on the workings of the faculty council itself and on all the proceedings and documents related to the council committees. In that sense, the council website is designed to be both “outward-looking,” that is, a resource for UH faculty and “inward-looking,” that is, a resource for faculty council members.

Each week, we shine a light on a key SAM or MAPP policy that directly affects faculty. This week’s focus: Parking. 

Parking and Transportation Services is designated by the University Administration as an auxiliary enterprise of the university. With this designation, parking and transportation are required to be self-funded since they receive no funding from the state or the university and therefore must charge for their services. All members of the UH community, including faculty, are required to pay for parking if they want to use campus parking spaces. Multiple permits are available for faculty and staff, including specialty permits such as Monday/Wednesday/Friday, Tuesday/Thursday, and Evening and Weekend permits. Faculty and staff permits are monthly and remain active until canceled or exchanged. All available permits can be found on the individual’s parking portal. Parking permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking and Transportation Services also offers additional services, including the COAST program, which provides information on alternative modes of transportation to and from campus. For more details, please visit the links below. Learn more:

The UH Office of Faculty Engagement and Development (FED) is hosting an Active Learning Implementation Showcase Session on December 8, 11:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. in the Faculty Café (E. Cullen Building, Ground Floor, Room 31). The session will feature faculty from across the university who have redesigned their courses to amplify the use of active learning strategies. The session is part of the Active Learning Initiative through the Faculty Engagement and Development office of the Provost's Office. During the session, featured faculty will present on the active learning strategies, methods, and outcomes from the revised course activities they implemented in their courses this semester. Please plan ahead for December!
