Getting Advice Each UHCL school has DIFFERENT policies concerning admission,

foundation courses, credit hour and grade requirements for students.

Within each school, each major may have different policies concerningadmission, foundation courses, credit hour and grade requirements.

Each UHCL school has a DIFFERENT process for developing degreeplans for individual students, and each degree plan has different rulesabout courses that will count toward the degree.

DANGER!!!

What is true for your friend or student mentoroften is NOTtrue for YOU.


8/38

Getting Advice

Student mentors are volunteers who generously devotetheir time and energy to welcoming new students.

Student mentors are TRULY appreciated for socialand cultural advice

Student mentors have no authority and no training togive academic advice.

What a student mentor honestlybelievesto be trueabout academic matters may not actually be true, ormay not be true for YOU.


9/38

Getting Advice

Consult your SCEFACULTY ADVISOR,(not friends, family, student mentors, or other students)

about UHCL courses, degree electives, and the contentof your degree plan.

Consult an SCE ACADEMIC ADVISOR

about SCE and university rules and policies andundergraduate transfer credit


10/38

Candidate Plan of StudyThe single most important document for your successful

graduation is your INDIVIDUAL degree plan.At UHCL, the degree plan is called the

Candidate Plan of Study

Your CPSspecifically states: Exactly which classes you must take to graduate

The number of credit hours you must earn to graduate

The minimum grades you must make to graduate


11/38

Candidate Plan of Study A Candidate Plan of Study is individualized, within limits, to fit eachstudent.

The Candidate Plan of Study is an official document - like acontract that defines exactly your individual graduation

requirements The Degree Progress Report is an automated report, available

through E-services, which is a basically generic tool intended tohelp students track their progress. Do not confuse the DPR withthe CPS. The CPS is an official, binding document - the DPR isNOT. DPRs are not used to audit for graduation. The CPS is used

to audit for graduation. Many DPRs require corrections. If theDPR shows something different from your CPS, FOLLOW YOURCPS and consult the DPR instructions for requesting corrections.

The process for the creation of the CPS is different for SC Egraduates and for undergraduates.


12/38

CPS for UndergraduatesUndergraduates must initiatethe CPS procedure

themselves by requesting an appointment with an

Academic Advisor

During their first semester, undergraduates must make anappointment with an Academic Advisor by calling 281-283-3711. The appointment will take about an hour.

Academic Advisors determine lower-level transfer credit,

list possible upper-level transfer credit, calculate credithours, assign each undergraduate a Faculty Advisor, andprint a draft CPS.

Undergraduates take this draft CPS and then make anappointment to meet with the assigned faculty advisor tofinalize this draft.

CPS for GraduatesGraduatestudents are notified via their student e-mails toinitiate the CPS procedure with their Faculty Advisors

During first 6-8 weeks of the semester, Academic Advisors

create CPS worksheets for all newly enrolled graduatestudents. The worksheet shows:

o Foundation/WRIT classes listed as required in theacceptance letter

o Potential graduate transfer classes from U.S. Universities(if the student has turned in a current official transcript.)

o Classes in which the student is currently enrolled at UHCL.

Once all worksheets are complete, Academic Advisors sendthem to the faculty advisors and notify students via student e-mail that they should make an appointment to meet with theirfaculty advisor to complete their CPS

Graduate CPS Draft


16/38

Graduate Foundation Waivers First Semester Your first semester at UHCL, do

NOT register for any assigned foundation courses for whichyou believe you have completed equivalent course work

with grade of C or better.

Faculty advisor When you meet with your facultyadvisor, take course descriptions and syllabi for any coursesfor which you wish to request a waiver. Your faculty advisoris authorized to waive foundation courses. (Note that

Academic Advisors are NOT authorized to waive foundationcourses.)

Waiver committee If your faculty advisor declines towaive a course and you do not agree, you can appeal to thewaiver committee

(except Computer Science)


17/38

Graduate Foundation Waivers

Waiver Committee Process

o Fill out a CPS change form, check the box for WaiveFoundation Course

o Attach all supporting documentation

o Turn in the form and documents to the AcademicAdvising Office B3611 Every Thursday, requests aredelivered to the waiver committee.

Do not take the course until you have a final answer fromthe waiver committee.

Do this as early as possible in your FIRST semester.

All Computer Science Waiver requests go directly to the CS Waiver Committee.Individual CS Faculty Advisors do not determine waivers for CS students


18/38

WRIT courses No WaiversWRIT courses (Technical Writing,

Intermediate Writing or Advanced

Writing) are not waived.Some acceptance letters list one or more WRIT courses.

WRIT courses are assigned because of a low GRE verbal or Essay scores and willnot be waived.

Graduation will be denied until all assigned WRIT courses are completed. Pleasedo not ask Academic Advisors about waivers of WRIT courses. We cannot help youwith this issue. If you have issues with WRIT courses assigned, consult your facultyadvisor.


19/38

Graduate Transfer CreditTo be considered for transfer toward the UHCL Masters degree,a course must satisfy ALL of the requirements listed below. Itmust be:

Listed on an official transcript received by SCETaken at a university in the United StatesGraduate level, non-foundation courseEarned grade of at least BTaken within the last 5 yearsNot used for a prior conferred degree

SCE Advisors MUST have official transcripts so that they can list the transfer credit

on the draft CPS. Students should take course descriptions to the faculty advisorwhen they meet to finalize the degree plan. Six hours of applicable transfer creditmay be approved directly by the faculty advisor when the student and faculty advisormeet. Upon recommendation of the faculty advisor, an additional 3 to 6 hours may beapproved by the associate dean IF the degree also includes at least 24 graduatehours at UHCL .


20/38

CPS Changes You may request changes to your original CPS by filling out a CPS

Change form and meeting with your faculty advisor for approval andsignature of the change form

Change forms are available online.

Registering for your first semesterUNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Follow the 2+2 transfer plan for 2009-2010. Contact an Academic Advisorif you have questions.

Be SURE you have the prerequisites for the classes you take.

Avoid taking the following types of electives until you have a degree planand faculty advisor:

o Technical Elective

o Business Elective

o Designated Elective

o Rubric (like CSCI or CINF) elective


22/38

Registering for your first semesterGRADUATE STUDENTS Academic Advisors do not advise graduate students which classes to take. We

are authorized to:

o

Give you the standard degree program handoutso Refer you to the assigned foundation/WRIT courses in your acceptance letter.

o Refer you to your faculty advisor

Your first semester it is best to register for assigned WRIT classes (if required), forany foundation classes which you do not plan to question, and for standard core

classes for your degree program

If you are not sure if you first semester classes are appropriate, or if you mustregister for an elective, be sure to contact your faculty advisor prior to or duringthe first week of class, when you can still add and drop.

GPA, Transcripts, CPS ???GPA: ALL classes you take at UHCL count toward your GPA, whether or not theyare on your CPS.

Transcript: All classes you take at UHCL will appear on your transcript, which isthe OFFICIAL and PERMANENT record of your academic career at UHCL. Your

transcript itself does NOT specify which classes were used toward your degree, itsimply lists what you took, when, and what grades you made.

CPS: The CPS is an INTERNAL OFFICIAL document by which SCE and ourauditors tracks your progress and clear you for graduation. Classes you take atUHCL count toward your graduation only if they are on your CPS. Your individual

CPS is a private document. SCE does not make it available to off campus entities.(The DPR is also internal only, but is not an official document.)

Students are allowed by SCEto take extra classes (not included on your CPS) butyou must remember that the grades in extra classes do count in your GPA, andother departments (such as financial aid) may not approve extra classes.
