Change of Registration Procedures

You can make most changes to your registration through MyUH. Changes can be made to your schedule after you have initially registered within your designated registration period, or on the dates scheduled for adding classes, dropping classes, switching sections of the same course, and changing grading options as shown on Registration Notice and Dates. After login to MyUH Portal, make your changes on the Quick Registration/Add or Drop My Classes Page. Holds will prevent you from making changes to your registration. Refer to the section on refunds. Beginning August 24, if your credit load is below 12 credits, and should you add and/or drop courses or switch sections of the same course, you will incur additional student activity fees (additional fees not to exceed $7.40).

Adding Classes

  • You may add a class up to 4:00 pm, September 2 through MyUH. See Registration Notice and Dates for specific dates.
  • Check the course listings to see if your desired class is restricted and obtain the approval from an authorized representative of the department offering the course. If the class is closed, you must also obtain approval. The appropriate override code that enables you to enroll in the restricted or closed class must be entered by the departmental representative who granted you approval, before you are able to add the class through MyUH. Override codes are displayed on the "Check My Registration Status" page.
  • When you add a class after your tuition is paid, any additional tuition and fees must be paid by the appropriate payment receipt deadline.
    • For transactions made April 29 to July 17, the payment receipt deadline is 4:00 pm, July 17.
    • For transactions made August 17 to September 2, the payment receipt deadline is 4:00 pm, September 2.
  • After the semester begins, if you are enrolled in only one UH Manoa course and you wish to replace it with another section or course, you must process this change in-person at the Admissions and Records Service Window, Queen Liliuokalani Center for Student Services, room 010 with a completed Add Form and Drop Form. See Registration Notice and Dates for specific dates.
  • After the semester begins, if your credit load is below 12 credits, and should you add and/or drop courses, or switch sections of the same course, you will incur additional student activity fees (additional fees not to exceed $7.40).

Dropping Classes

As a courtesy to other students, dropping unwanted classes as early as possible will allow other students to register for courses which may otherwise be unavailable. Please note that a decrease in your enrollment status may impact benefits that you are receiving.

  • If you drop below 12 credits, you may be assessed a financial penalty. To avoid any financial penalties, decrease your credit load by Sunday, August 23. If you are registered for 12 or more credits as of 4:00 pm, September 2, 2009, there will be no penalty. Please refer to the section on Refunds.
  • You may drop a class online (without "W" grade) up through August 31 through MyUH. See Registration Notice and Dates for specific dates. After the semester begins, if this is your only or last UH Manoa class, you must process a Complete Withdrawal Form (see section Withdrawing Completely from UH Manoa).
  • For any partial withdrawals after the sixth day of instruction (beginning September 1), obtain the written approval of the instructor on the Drop Form, and your College Student Academic Services representative, if needed (see chart). You will receive a "W" grade for each course. Such approvals are not automatic. These withdrawals must be done in-person, not through MyUH. Bring your completed Drop Form to the Admissions and Records Service Window, Queen Lili'uokalani Center for Student Services, room 010, by 4:00 pm on October 23.
    Note: For Shidler College of Business 300+ courses, the deadline is September 14 at 4:00 pm.
  • If you are dropping or withdrawing from ELI 070, 072, 073, 080, 082 or 083, you must first obtain permission from the English Language Institute, Moore 570.
  • If you are decreasing in credits to below full-time (for undergraduates: 12 credits; for classified graduate students: according to Graduate Division definition) and are a financial aid recipient, your aid will be adjusted accordingly.
  • After the semester begins, if you are enrolled in only one UH Manoa course and you wish to replace it with another section or course, you must process this change in-person at the Admissions and Records Service Window, Queen Liliuokalani Center for Student Services, room 010 with a completed Add Form and Drop Form. See Registration Notice and Dates for specific dates.
  • After the semester begins, if your credit load is below 12 credits, and should you add and/or drop courses, or switch sections of the same course, you will incur additional student activity fees (additional fees not to exceed $7.40).
  • After the ninth week (beginning October 24), withdrawals are permitted only for unusual circumstances beyond your control. See your College Student Academic Services representative, or if a classified graduate student, your advisor and the Graduate Division Student Academic Services dean. You will also need the consent of your instructor.
