WELCOME TO UAH!
Congratulations on your admission to UAH's Graduate School! Here you'll find some resources to help prepare you for what's next.
New Graduate Student Resource Guide
All newly admitted graduate students will be emailed information about how to access our online New Graduate Student Resource Guide through Canvas. This online resource library will provide you with helpful information regarding advising and registration, campus technologies and student services, and financial aid and student billing. In the meantime, please review our Next Steps for Newly Admitted Graduate Students checklist. If you are an international student, review our Next Steps for Newly Admitted International Graduate Students checklist. If you have questions after reviewing this information, please reach out to the Graduate Admissions at gradadmissions@uah.edu.
Registering for Classes
Newly admitted graduate students should contact their program coordinator for assistance with class registration and establishing a program of study. This roadmap will provide you the information needed to register for classes and will provide you with a path to graduation. Visit uah.edu/graduate/programs to view contact information for your program coordinator.
At uah.edu/registrar/registration you can find registration dates for your semester and a helpful video to assist you in creating your class schedule using Schedule Planner. Full-time registration is nine credit hours each fall and spring semester, and summer full-time registration is six credit hours. View important semester dates and part of term deadlines on the Registrar's Office website.
