Policy on Student Notification Responsibilities

Update Contact information

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the school and UTHealth Houston have accurate contact information at all times. Students are required annually to update their contact information, including emergency contact, mailing address and phone numbers on MyUTH. This ensures that they can be reached throughout the year. Students may be dis-enrolled or dismissed for failure to respond to communications from the school within 30 calendar days.

Disclosure of Arrest/Criminal Charges

Enrolled students are required to disclose within 5 days of occurrence to their respective Dean or designees any arrests for and/or criminal charges of all misdemeanor or felony offenses (only excluding minor traffic violations), any misdemeanor or felony convictions and/or deferrals of adjudication, community supervision and/or other pre-trial diversion or dispositions (only excluding  minor traffic violations) and whether they are registered or will be required to register as a sex offender. Nondisclosure or falsification of this information will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the school.
