Academic History - Previous Education | Official Transcripts

All admitted applicants to the Medical School must submit an official transcript from each previously attended institution of higher (i.e., post-secondary) education to both the TMDSAS and the admitting campus. Transcripts are due in the Registrar's Office by September 1 of the student's entering year.

The transcript should show a record of all academic course work. It must be submitted by the institution directly to the Office of the Registrar electronically or by mail at the following address:
    Office of the Registrar
    The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
    PO Box 20036
    Houston, TX 77225

Note: Transcripts may NOT be Faxed. If you have questions about the     registration process, please call the MD/DDS Registration Desk at
    713-500-3347.


Registration Information
The first three years of Medical School are pre-determined curricula. Fourth year medical students pre-select their classes during the third year. Therefore, registration and enrollment to begin a Medical School Year does not involve the selection of classes.
Bills will not be mailed.
To be registered for a new year you must do the following:
  1. Clear any holds which exist at the beginning of the registration period. Check UTLINK to determine if holds have been placed on your record.
  2. Update your mailing address information via UTLINK.
  3. Use UTLINK to select payment by the Installment Plan if you wish to make four payments during the academic year, or call the Bursar's Office at 713-500-3088.
  4. UT System requires all Health Science Center students have health insurance coverage. Students will be automatically assessed the UT insurance plan but may have this fee waived by Auxiliary Enterprises if proof of comparable coverage is presented by the 12th class day.
  5. Bills will not be mailed. Students should view bills on UTLINK. Fees should be paid by the due date printed on the bill.


Adds/Drops - Year 4 students only
Note: Dropping a class using UTLINK will make no entries on the transcript.
