Enrollment Ready! (Current Students)

Follow these 5 steps now to have a successful enrollment experience—be Enrollment Ready!

  1. Resolve any enrollment holds. 
    • Check to ensure that you do not have any holds preventing enrollment. Log into your myUH account, navigate to the Student Center, and locate the “Holds” sectionfrom the menu on the right.
    • For TSI holds:
      • 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.
    • For financial holds
    • For other enrollment holds: In your myUH account under “Holds,” click “Details” to understand the requirement and the department to contact. Contact your Academic Advisor for guidance.

  2. Plan your courses. 
    • Use the Academic Map for your major, as well as any planning worksheets your college has given to you, to make a list of the next courses you need.

  3. Confirm your course selection with your Academic Advisor. 
    • To make an appointment with your advisor, click the Appointments icon in your Navigate Student app, select your college and major, and look for available appointment times.
    • Some colleges will email you a special appointment invitation – click the link in that message to make an appointment.
    • If you don't see any available appointments, continue checking back. In Navigate, time slots for advising offices open for the next 30 days on a rolling basis, with a new day added at the end of that range every day beginning at midnight.
    • IMPORTANT: Give yourself the best chance of finding open class sessions! Don't wait to enroll! You might not be able to get an advising appointment before your enrollment date/time. That’s ok! Schedule an appointment with your advisor for the first available date. While you are waiting for your advising appointment, continue forward to #4 Plan your schedule and #5 Enroll in courses. Use your Academic Map as a guide and enroll in courses within 24 hours of your enrollment appointment. You will have greater course availability if you enroll sooner rather than later. Then, when you meet with your advisor, you can confirm your enrollment choices or add/drop courses as needed.  

  4. Plan your schedule.
    • Try laying your schedule out on paper or a spreadsheet to see if your chosen courses fit together.
    • Prepare a list of backup sections and courses in case your first choices are full. 
    • Send your courses to your Shopping Cart. You may add classes to your shopping cart until you are able to officially enroll.

  5. Enroll in courses. You've prepared and confirmed, and now you're ready to enroll!
    • Enroll in courses within 24 hours of your enrollment appointment. You will have greater course availability if you enroll sooner rather than later.
    • Learn how to add a class.
    • Have a list of backup sections and courses in case your first choices are full. 
    • Login to your myUH Account and begin enrolling in your courses.
    • Be patient with this process – you may get some of the sections you chose right away, and you may find that other sections are full. This is all completely normal! Go back to find other courses that fit with your Academic Planner.
    • Remember: you can make any changes you like to your schedule all the way until the new term begins. Get enrolled in all of the classes you can, as soon as you can, and then go back to make changes.
    • Payment for next term courses is not due until right before that term begins, so enroll now!
