Check an Instructor's Focus Approval Status
(Last updated on November 1, 2009. Includes information on most Spring 2010 proposals.)

Search by UHM instructor name, department, or subject area to see if an instructor has a Focus approval. Those with "active" approval do not need to submit a Focus proposal form. As long as they are listed as the section's instructor of record in MyUH before continuing student registration begins, their approved Focus designation(s) will be added to their section(s).

2010 FOCUS PROPOSAL FORMS - SPRING & SUMMER

-for UHM faculty members-

"Regular" Focus forms should be submitted when an individual instructor wants a Focus designation for his/her course (and does not already have approval).

Upon approval, the instructor's section(s) will be designated with the requested Focus.

 

-for Department Chairpersons only-

   Spring 2010                         Summer 2010

                                       

Upon approval, all sections of the course will be designated with the requested Focus. Individual instructors will not have to submit Focus forms.


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

   Spring 2010                         Summer 2010

                                       

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.
