Let $Γ=(X,\mathcal{R})$ denote a finite, simple, connected, and undirected non-bipartite graph with vertex set $X$ and edge set $\mathcal{R}$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$, and define $\mathcal{R}_f = \mathcal{R} \setminus \{yz \mid \partial(x,y) = \partial(x,z)\}$, where $\partial$ denotes the path-length distance in $Γ$. Observe that the graph $Γ_f=(X,\mathcal{R}_f)$ is bipartite. We say that $Γ$ supports a uniform structure with respect to $x$ whenever $Γ_f$ has a uniform structure with respect to $x$ in the sense of Miklavič and Terwilliger \cite{MikTer}. Assume that $Γ$ is a distance-regular graph with classical parameters $(D,q,α,β)$ and diameter $D\geq 4$. Recall that $q$ is an integer such that $q \not \in \{-1,0\}$. The purpose of this paper is to study when $Γ$ supports a uniform structure with respect to $x$. We studied the case $q \le 1$ in \cite{FMMM}, and so in this paper we assume $q \geq 2$. Let $T=T(x)$ denote the Terwilliger algebra of $Γ$ with respect to $x$. Under an additional assumption that every irreducible $T$-module with endpoint $1$ is thin, we show that if $Γ$ supports a uniform structure with respect to $x$, then either $α= 0$ or $α=q$, $β=q^2(q^D-1)/(q-1)$, and $D \equiv 0 \pmod{6}$.
