CHANGE OF REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

You can make most changes to your registration through MyUH. Changes can be made to your schedule after you have initially registered within your designated registration period, or on the dates scheduled for adding classes, dropping classes, switching sections of the same course, and changing grading options as shown on Registration Notice and Dates. After login to MyUH Portal, make your changes on the Quick Registration/Add or Drop My Classes Page. Holds will prevent you from making changes to your registration. Refer to the section on refunds. Beginning January 8, if your credit load is below 12 credits, and should you add and/or drop courses or switch sections of the same course, you will incur additional student activity fees (additional fees not to exceed $7.40).

Adding Classes

  • You may add a class up to 4:00 pm, January 17 through MyUH. See Registration Notice and Dates for specific dates.
  • Check the course listings to see if your desired class is restricted and obtain the approval from an authorized representative of the department offering the course. If the class is closed, you must also obtain approval. The appropriate override code that enables you to enroll in the restricted or closed class must be entered by the departmental representative who granted you approval, before you are able to add the class through MyUH. Override codes are displayed on the "Check My Registration Status" page.
  • When you add a class after your tuition is paid, any additional tuition and fees must be paid by the appropriate payment receipt deadline.
    • For transactions made December 4 to 15, the payment receipt deadline is 4:00 pm, December 15 .
