Schedule a Meeting

Schedule a meeting using Hālāwai's self scheduling process.

** At this time, our UH license only supports 160 concurrent users. As a result we must ensure that one meeting does not exceed the number of licenses requested, which could prevent legitimate participants from accessing another scheduled meeting. Proper adherence to the self-scheduling procedures will prevent this from occurring.

Go to the main Hālāwai page at http://www.hawaii.edu/halawai and click on the "Schedule a Meeting" link on the menu.

To confirm date/time availability for your meeting, click on the calendar icon next to "Start Date and Time."

A popup calendar window will list meetings already scheduled on each date. If a day is empty, availability is wide open, which means you can schedule a meeting at anytime. If there are meetings listed, either click on the text or hover your mouse over the text to verify any open meeting times.

Once you confirm an open date and time, return back to the scheduling page by closing the calendar popup window.

NOTE: as long as there are NOT 159 seats taken for a particular time slot you may proceed to schedule a meeting (example: Meeting 1 is scheduled on Wednesday at 9:00am to 10:00am with 2 seats taken, you can go ahead and schedule a meeting from 9:00am to 10:00am on that same day as long as your attendees + the other meeting participants do not = 159+)

Total Number of Participants: select the number of total participants in the pull-down menu (don't forget to include yourself in the count).

List UH Usernames: if you are running a meeting that does not have a CRN associated with it, enter the participants' UH username(s). ONLY UH usernames will be accepted. Anyone else would be considered as a GUEST (example: seajay@gci.net or samcc@alohabroadband.com). No additional information is required. Just make sure to include ALL guests in the Total Number of Participants pull-down menu.
