REGISTRATION RESOURCES AND HELPFUL INFORMATION



The instructions in the Schedule of Classes provide you with the details of how to register. Since the Manoa campus has a very wide variety of educational programs, it is your responsibility to look carefully at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Catalog that describes the courses and degree requirements and specifies course prerequisites and co-requisites. There are advisors available to help you, but you alone are responsible for becoming familiar with the policies, procedures and requirements of the University, your College or School, and your degree program.

IMPORTANT ADDRESS INFORMATION

Please verify and update your Mailing Address and phone number in MyUH (select Academic Services, then View/Update My Address page) as important information will be sent to your current Mailing Address on file at the Admissions and Records Office.  All refund checks will be mailed to your address in the following priority:  1 - Mailing Address and then, 2 - Permanent Address (if Mailing Address is null or expired).  The 1098-T tax form will be mailed to your Permanent Address.  If your Permanent Address has also changed, please mail in the online Student Data Change Form or complete it in-person at the Admissions and Records Information Counter, Queen Liliuokalani Center for Student Services, room 001.

MyUH

MyUH is the University of Hawaii's website which provides UH students, faculty and staff with a secure and personalized single point of access to course registration, email, calendaring and Internet web browsing.

MyUH is located at http://myuhportal.hawaii.edu. There is a window in the upper left corner of the web page where you enter your UH Username and password. If you DO NOT have a UH Username click on "Get a UH Username" http://www.hawaii.edu/account.

After login to MyUH, select Academic Services for your registration and payment transactions.

UH USERNAME

You will be required to register online through MyUH, and must have a UH Username. The UH Username is the part of your UH email address before @hawaii.edu. To obtain a UH email account you must first receive an acceptance letter from the University. Undergraduate students must return the Statement of Intention to Register along with the Tuition Deposit. Classified graduate students must return the Statement of Intention to Register. You may then obtain your UH email account at http://www.hawaii.edu/account. Protect your password and do not give it out to others.

UH EMAIL ADDRESS

Your UH Username followed by @hawaii.edu (e.g., johndoe@hawaii.edu) is your UH email address. Important information from the University administration and your instructors may be sent to this email address so you must check it regularly. Email sent to your UH email account is considered an official channel of communication by the University.  You may check your UH email through MyUH. You may also check your UH email via direct access and even forward it to a non-University account from https://mail.hawaii.edu (after login, select Options, then Settings, then "Mail Forward" to your preferred email account and save changes).

UH NUMBER AND UH USERNAME REPLACES SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AS ID

Your UH Number is a unique 8-digit identification number that is displayed on the class lists of your instructors. If you do not know your UH Number, login to MyUH, click on the My Account tab and find it under MyUH Profile. It was also printed on your acceptance letter and is shown on your student ID card obtained from Campus Center. Due to the sensitive nature of the Social Security Number, you must use your UH Number or UH Username as your ID number for all purposes. Use your UH Number when submitting exams which will be scanned for scoring purposes. When requesting a course approval override code for restricted courses from a departmental representative, give your UH Number or UH Username as your ID.

ENROLLING IN OTHER UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII SYSTEM CAMPUSES

You may also register for courses at the community colleges this semester. However, please be aware that:

  • If you are exempt from the non-resident tuition differential at UH Manoa you may be required to pay non-resident tuition at another campus.
  • Courses offered at other institutions may not transfer, even if the course numbers are the same.
  • Registration policies and procedures may vary. Please consult with the campus offering the course.
  • For Financial Aid Recipients: Additional information is available from the Financial Aid Services website www.island.hawaii.edu/finaid/.

IF YOU DO NOT ENROLL IN CLASSES AT UH MANOA

We look forward to your enrollment this Spring. However, if you choose not to enroll and complete any UH Manoa course or UH Manoa Outreach College extension course this Spring, you must apply for re-admission by the appropriate deadline if you decide to return for a subsequent semester. Please visit the Admissions and Records website for re-admission information (classified graduate students go to www.hawaii.edu/graduate/).

GRADING OPTIONS FOR COURSES

Grading options include normal grading [A+, A, A- (excellent); B+, B, B- (above average); C+, C (average); C-, D+, D, D- (minimal passing); F (failure)], Credit/No Credit [CR (credit); NC (no credit)], or Audit [L (audit)]. Refer to the current University of Hawaii at Manoa Catalog for more information before deciding on the grading options for your courses.

CREDIT/NO CREDIT GRADING OPTION

The Credit/No Credit grading option is limited to elective courses only. To earn a "CR" grade, you must have at least "C" performance in the class. University, college, and departmental or major requirements (except mandatory CR/NC courses) must be taken for A-F letter grades. You must make the decision to take a course on either a letter grade or a CR/NC basis when you register for it. After entering the course, go to the Change Class Options page to change your grading option from normal to credit/no credit.

AUDIT GRADING OPTION

If you wish to enroll in a course with audit as the grading option, and audit is an acceptable grading mode for the course, you must receive written permission from the instructor. Use the Audit Approval Form, available from the department offering the course. Take your completed Audit Approval Form for each course to be audited to the Admissions and Records Service Window, Queen Liliuokalani Center for Student Services, room 010, Mondays to Fridays, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, excluding holidays, during the periods that allow adding classes or changing grading options for your student classification. Once registered in the audit grading option, you may not change to the A-F or CR/NC grading options unless you have written permission from your instructor. Return to the in-person registration site with the written approval on a Change of Registration Form if you wish to change the grading option back to A-F or CR/NC.

Credits taken for audit do not count towards full-time/part-time status for academic purposes. However, these credits are included in your total credit load for the semester and will require approval from your College Student Academic Services dean's office if your total exceeds the limit for your student classification (undergraduate = 19 credits; all others = 16 credits). Please refer to the section Overload Policy for additional information. Auditors do not take course examinations and receive no academic credit. The audited course will appear on your transcript with the "L" grade.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

If you register for a class, but never attend or stop attending without officially withdrawing, you will receive an "F" or "NC" grade, as appropriate. Some departments require you to attend the first class meeting or your space may be assigned to another student and you will need to drop the class to avoid a grade of "F".

CANCELED CLASSES

If one of your classes is canceled, the University will make every attempt to notify you through the academic department as soon as possible so that you can add a different class.

FULL-TIME ACADEMIC STATUS

If you are an undergraduate student, or professional diploma student, or certificate student in education, you will be considered a full-time student if you are registered for at least 12 credits. However, for all students, credits taken for audit do not count towards full-time/part-time status for academic purposes. A classified graduate student's status is determined by Graduate Division regulations.

OVERLOAD POLICY

Undergraduate students may enroll for a maximum of 19 credits. Post-baccalaureate students such as classified graduate students and professional diploma students may enroll for a maximum of 16 credits. Credits to be audited as well as non-academic credit courses (e.g. ELI 070, 072, 073, 080, 082, 083) are included in this total. To add credits above these limits, you will need approval from your College Student Academic Services dean (or, for classified graduate students, the Graduate Division Student Academic Services dean). Approval can be granted at any time, even before instruction begins. If you receive approval, you must register for the overload credits after the semester begins but no later than the deadline to add classes. Please note that this approval will not appear on your Check My Registration Status page as an override code.
