Visit Us

Are you interested in applying to University of Houston Law Center (UHLC)? We welcome and encourage you to visit. Throughout the year we have a number of ways and times that you can visit. During your visit you will have the opportunity to learn more about the law school, the faculty, classes, students, organizations as well as take a tour of the facility.

Classroom Visit (includes a tour*)
Have you ever wonder what it is like to attend a first year law class? To see brief descriptions of the first-year courses taken by all 1Ls, please click here. The Office of Admissions is happy to arrange a visit to a first year law school class and a tour during the Fall and Spring semesters. Class visits and tours are by appointment only. Tours will only occur before or after the class and are not offered as a standalone activity. When making your selection, please note whether there is a tour AND if the tour is scheduled before or after class. All class visits must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance of the class you would like to attend. Class visits and tours may be requested by completing the below form.

Once your visit has been set up, you will be notified by email of your schedule. Please give us a minimum of two business days to set up your visit. Visitors must be escorted to the classroom prior to the start of class, and must stay for the entire class period so as not to disrupt the class. We regret that we cannot seat latecomers once class has begun, so please arrive at the Office of Admissions at least 15 minutes prior to class time. Please be sure to allow sufficient time to locate the Law Center and to park. Tours of the Law Center will be available after the classroom visit. (Approximately two (2) hours)

Re-applicant Counseling (offered August 17th-August 21st only) – Appointments may be scheduled after August 1st

If you have applied to the JD program and were not offered admission, you may schedule a time to discuss your application via telephone with a member of the admissions staff before applying in a subsequent year. Telephonic Re-applicant counseling is only offered one time per applicant from August 17th – August 21st and is intended to assist applicants in strengthening their future application should they chose to reapply. It is not an interview nor an opportunity to have your application reviewed or reconsidered for the current year. Application files are archived for one year. If you schedule a time to discuss your application via telephone within the year that your file is archived, we will review your previous application file with you in an effort to help you to identify strengths and weaknesses in your application, and explain the application review process.
