Weather Closings
Sometimes Houston has storms or flooding. UHD may close due to severe weather. An announcement is made on the radio, on television (Channels 2, 11 and 13) and on the UHD website. Do not assume that UHD is closed unless you hear or read one of these announcements. Only if the school closes is your absence counted.
Student Attendance Policy
Students are required to come to class on a regular basis. You may not be absent more than 5 hours from any one class or 20 hours from all classes in any one six-and-a-half week session. Chronic absence of F-1 students is reportable to Immigration.
Students who are absent are required to make up any work missed. Students who are absent for an instructor’s test or who had work to turn in will be governed by that instructor’s make-up policies as stated in the instructor’s syllabus.
