UH launching new transfer program The University of Houston is launching UH Next, a new transfer program designed to help community college students more easily and aordably complete their bache- lor’s degrees, starting in spring 2026. The details Housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the pilot will streamline transfers after students complete associate degrees at one of ve Houston-area commu- nity colleges, reducing the cost of a four- year degree. Enrolled students will be able to follow four-year degree maps, co-created by advisors at both UH and the partner college to ensure they take the right courses in the right order, minimizing credit loss and keeping them on track for graduation.

On Sept. 8, KISD’s board of trustees unan- imously approved the initiation of the gym addition for Krimmel. The new facility will be the school’s second gym, said Danny Phillips, KISD executive director of capital projects, in a Sept. 11 email. Construction on Krimmel’s new gym is expected to begin in May 2026 and wrap up by May 2027, Phillips said. The project will be similar to gym additions at Doerre, Kleb, Klein, Schindewolf and Strack intermediate schools. Schindewolf Intermediate School’s gym project included features such as new bleachers and climate control systems, as previously reported by Community Impact.
