COVID-19 UPDATES

We hope that this message finds you safe and in good health. The last several weeks have been unprecedented and filled with challenges. There is still much that we do not know about the road ahead, but one thing is certain, the UH Engineering family will persevere. We are strong, and we are going to get through this together.

 

Our priority remains to ensure the successful continuity of our students' academic studies and the college’s operations.

 

After careful consideration and consultation, University leadership has made the following decisions:

•All classes will be offered remotely for the rest of the Spring Semester.
•All Commencement ceremonies have been postponed until late summer/early fall.

 

In response to the city and county emergency health declarations, we will be taking the following actions:

•All spring semester college-sponsored events have either been canceled or postponed. This includes, but is not limited to:
•Girls Engineering the Future STEM event on March 28th — will tentatively be rescheduled in the fall.
•The college’s Accepted Student Welcome Event on April 4th — canceled
•The Women in Engineering Celebration — has been rescheduled for September 24th
•The engineering golf tournament on April 6th — has been rescheduled for November 2nd
•GRADE Camp — canceled
•Please continue to check our college’s website and official social media channels (@UHengineering) for updates on future postponed and canceled events
•The University of Houston is now restricting all international travel and domestic business travel at least through the end of April and is continuing to require off-campus self-quarantine of 14 days for any international travel since February 25, 2020.
•Facilities are being maintained using aggressive sanitization and hygiene protocols as recommended by authorities: increased custodial cleaning, hand sanitizer dispensers at all entrances, common areas and elevators.

 

The approval of the Federal Stimulus Legislation bill will provide resources to help our community navigate these very challenging times. These resources are detailed in a recent statement made by UH President Renu Khator. You can read her statement online here.
