UH Go – University of Houston Mobile Companion

What is UH Go?

UH Go is a mobile application created by the University of Houston for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It serves as a single place to reach essential university resources while you’re on campus or on the go.

Main features

• Academic tools – Quickly view your schedule, add or drop courses, and keep track of important deadlines.
• Digital Cougar Card – Access your campus ID, view balances, and manage Cougar Cash or ShastaBUCKS directly from your phone.

How it works

After installing UH Go, you sign in with your university credentials. The app then syncs with the university’s backend systems, pulling data such as class schedules, card balances, and shuttle locations. Most features work offline once data is cached, but real‑time services like shuttle tracking require an internet connection.

Practical uses

Whether you’re a freshman finding your first class, a commuter checking shuttle times, or an alumnus wanting to stay informed, UH Go streamlines everyday tasks. It reduces the need to carry a physical ID, lets you pay for meals without a wallet, and keeps you aware of campus alerts.

Installation information

The app is distributed as a free download through the Google Play Store. Search for “UH Go” or use the package name edu.uhmobile to locate it. Installation follows the standard Android process: tap “Install,” grant any required permissions, and launch the app.

Things to know before installing

• Because the app accesses personal university accounts, you’ll need a valid UH username and password.
• Some features, such as real‑time shuttle locations, rely on an active internet connection.
• Permissions are limited to those needed for account authentication, location services for navigation, and notifications.

Who may find UH Go useful?

Current students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the University of Houston can benefit from the app. It is especially handy for anyone who wants quick access to campus services without navigating multiple web portals.
