Adding Summer and Fall 2008 Focus designations:

If your department wants to add a new Summer or Fall 2008 section of a course that has a Focus designation(s), please click here for instructions. Please note that there must be no students enrolled.

Check an Instructor's Focus Approval Status (Last updated on January 24, 2008, with information current as of January 11, 2008.)

Search by UHM instructor name or subject area to see if an instructor has a Focus approval. Those with "active" approvals do not need to submit a Focus proposal form.

 

FOCUS PROPOSAL FORMS

These forms should be submitted when an individual instructor wants a Focus designation for his/her Summer or Fall 2008 course (and does not already have approval).

"COURSE" forms should be submitted when a department has a course that inherently meets the Focus Hallmarks.

"STAFF" forms should be submitted when a department has unstaffed sections of courses that traditionally have a Focus designation.

Upon approval, the unstaffed sections will be designated with the requested Focus. Once instructors are assigned, they must submit their own Focus form to explain how they will teach the course in accordance with the Focus Hallmarks.
