UHin4 Priority Enrollment: Checklist and Important Information

 Priority Enrollment begins on March 30th and it is time for you to get enrollment ready! Your specific enrollment time and date will be updated and visible on your account on March 6th, which is also when the Summer/Fall 2026 class schedules are published. 

Enrolling during the priority enrollment period gives you early access to course options, more flexibility in building your ideal schedule, and helps you stay on track for graduation.

Checklist

First things first, schedule an appointment with your college/major academic advisor (not UHin4 staff) through Navigate Student. Need help? Watch this quick video on how to schedule an appointment. Review Step Two and Helpful Information sections below for additional guidance.

Check your myUH account for any holds.
  1. Login through AccessUH.
  2. Go to myUH Self Service.
  3. Click on the Tasks tile
  4. Select any listed hold to view its details, including the associated department contact information. 

See the Enrollment Holds section on this page for specific hold information.

Review Courses Needed for Degree Completion

While logged into myUH Self Service, look up courses needed for degree completion in the UH Undergraduate Catalog to be sure you meet prerequisite requirements.

Not sure which courses you still need?

Use the Degree Progress Report (also called the Advisement Report) in myUH to review the courses you've completed and identify those still required for graduation.

To access your report: 

  1. Login through AccessUH
  2. Go to myUH Self Service
  3. Click on the Advising tile
  4. Select Apply for Graduation, then My Academics
  5. Select View my Advisement Report

Set up a time to meet with your college/major academic advisor to discuss your course selections and enrollment plans.

If you're unable to schedule an advising appointment before your enrollment period opens, do not wait to enroll. Select courses that align with your academic map or degree plan and enroll on your assigned day and time.

You can use a future advising appointment to confirm your course choices. Remember, you can still make adjustments to your schedule up until the new semester begins.

Be sure to review your major's academic map  and any other guides or degree plans your college has provided you.

Now that you understand your degree requirements, it's time to explore the class schedule and start planning your semester. As a reminder, the class schedule for Summer/Fall 2026 will be published on March 5th.

Use Schedule Builder to create and save one or multiple schedule options.

  • Include backup sections in case of full classes. Once your enrollment appointment opens, you'll be able to enroll directly from the Schedule Builder.
    Adding courses to your cart or planner does not complete enrollment.
  • Add your enrollment appointment to your calendar. 

To confirm your enrollment date:

  1. Login through AccessUH
  2. Go to myUH Self Service
  3. Click on the Manage Classes tile
  4. Select Course Planning
  5. Select My Enrollment Periods

Note: Priority Enrollment Appointments will appear on your account on March 6th, which is also when the Summer/Fall 2026 class schedules are published.

By now you are prepared and ready to enroll! Check out this website for additional tips and reminders to be Enrollment Ready!

You will enroll online, no travel or in-person session is required. 

  • Confirm your enrollment period (myUH Self Service>Manage Classes>Course Planning>My Enrollment Periods). As a reminder, your enrollment time will appear on your account on March 5th, which is also when the Summer/Fall 2026 class schedules are published
  • Log into the Schedule Builder before your enrollment period begins and locate your favorite schedule. Check the checkbox next to each of the classes you would like to enroll in, click "Enroll," and click "Validate" to make sure you are eligible for each course.
  • Payment for the next semester courses is not due until closer to when that semester begins. Enroll as soon as possible, there is no reason not to. 

The UHin4 Four-Year Graduation Agreement discusses the student responsibility to enroll within 48 hours of their enrollment date. But don't wait, you will have greater course availability the sooner you enroll. 

Helpful Information 

YOU CAN STILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AFTER ENROLLING

  • If you were unable to meet with your advisor prior to your enrollment appointment then meet with your advisor post-enrollment to confirm your schedule.
  • Remember, you can still make adjustments to your schedule up until the new semester begins.
  • PALs are here to help. If you're not enrolled within 48 hours of your enrollment period, one of our Peer Assistant Leaders (PALs) will reach out to check in and see how they can support you. 

Enrollment Holds 

Have you checked your myUH account for holds or other barriers that may prevent you from participating in priority enrollment?

To check for holds on your account, please follow the steps below:

  1. Log on to myUH
  2. Click on UH Self-Service
  3. Click on Tasks
  4. If you have any holds click on the title of the hold and read the instructions for resolving the hold.

View common types of Enrollment Holds below. 

  • If you are pursuing developmental coursework, the TSI enrollment hold has been reapplied to your account since you are not yet TSI complete. Not to worry—just contact your advisor to release your hold for your second waiver so that you can enroll in next term coursework. Once you pass your course, your requirement will be completed.
  • If you are beyond your second waiver or are not enrolled in developmental coursework, you will need to discuss your enrollment options with your academic advisor. If you have not yet taken the TSI Assessment, you must do this as a next step. See the UH TSI page for more information. If you do not pas discuss your enrollment options with your academic advisor.

Frequently Asked Priority Enrollment Questions
