Registration and Enrollment
Registration Procedures
Registration is open to those students formally
admitted to the Manoa campus by the appropriate admissions office and
to students in good standing who are continuing in an approved program
of study. New, transfer, and returning classified students who are
admitted to the University are required to pay a non-refundable,
nontransferable partial advance tuition deposit to confirm their
admitted status. Admitted students may be barred from registration until
they have complied with all University requirements including but not
limited to medical clearances, the purchase of health insurance by
non-immigrant foreign students, and required English language placement
testing. Students may also be barred from registering until they have
cleared all academic or financial obligations.
Students are given specific appointment times in which
to register. All registration activity is conducted by touch-tone
telephone or by personal computer through the World Wide Web. Each
student’s registration time will be available by touch-tone telephone
or through the Web approximately two weeks before registration.
Information on registration procedures is contained in
the Schedule of Classes booklet, which includes registration
dates, registration instructions, and the time and place of course
meetings. The Schedule of Classes is distributed by the
Admissions and Records Office and is available shortly before
registration begins each fall and spring semester. The Schedule of
Classes is also available on the Web: www.pae.hawaii.edu.
Unclassified students and auditors register after
classified students.
Registration is not complete unless all tuition and
fees have been paid by the payment deadline.
Auditors
Auditors are regularly admitted students who enroll
for informational instruction only and attend classes with the consent
of the instructor. Auditors receive no credit, and they do not take
course examinations. The extent of their classroom participation is at
the instructor’s discretion. Auditors are not generally allowed in art
studios, laboratory science, mathematics, elementary and intermediate
Hawaiian and foreign languages, creative writing, English composition,
physical education, speech and other performance courses, or in classes
where they might displace credit students. Audit courses are entered on
student transcripts with a grade of L and are subject to regular tuition
and fee charges. Audit courses are not counted in determining a
student’s enrollment status.
Late Registration
Students who failed to register during the designated
registration period may still register for credit during the first 10
days of instruction (see the “Calendar”). There is a fee for late
registration.
Enrollment at Other Campuses
After admission to the Manoa campus, students who plan
to take courses at other campuses, either within or outside the UH
system, must notify their respective college student academic services
office before enrolling at the other campus and must have official
transcripts sent directly to the Manoa campus Admissions and Records
Office upon completion of those courses.
Concurrent Registration
Students may enroll concurrently at two University of
Hawai‘i system campuses and pay tuition not to exceed the full-time,
higher tuition-charging campus rate, as well as all mandatory fees
required by both campuses provided (a) they are officially enrolled at
the home campus for at least one-half of the credit load for the
semester; (b) they are in good academic standing at both campuses; (c)
they are registering for courses applicable to their academic program
but not available at the home campus; and (d) they have the approval of
their home campus adviser and of the second campus. For specific
application policy and forms, see the home campus adviser. A student who
fails to comply with all these conditions may be disenrolled.
Multiple Registration
Students who do not meet the above criteria may enroll
at more than one UH system campus at the same time, but they must pay
full tuition and fees at all campuses. Multiple registrants must meet
the admissions requirements and deadlines of each campus.
Maximum Registration
Undergraduate and post-baccalaureate unclassified
students who request enrollment in 20 or more credit hours of work in
any semester must obtain special approval of their college student
academic services office and process their changes during the Change of
Registration period after instruction begins. Students may not register
for courses in Outreach College, for credit or audit, in excess of the
maximum registration allowed by the college or school in which they are
enrolled unless given permission for an overload by the college or
school.
Enrollment Status
For academic purposes, students may be classified as
either part-time or full-time students. A full-time undergraduate
carries a minimum of 12 credit hours. Undergraduate students carrying
fewer than 12 credits are classified as part-time. Audited courses are
not counted in determining the enrollment status of a student.
Change of College or Major
Classified students may apply for transfer from one
college to another during the fall or the spring semester. Application
for transfer must be made on a form supplied by the student academic
services office of the college or school that the student wishes to
enter. The application must be approved by the dean of that college or
school. Deadlines for transfers within the University are determined by
individual student academic services offices. Contact the college or
school directly for deadlines. Students planning to transfer into
professional schools should consult the dean’s office for deadlines.
Students wishing to enter the College of Education should follow the
procedures specific to that college.
Changes of college, school, curriculum, or major are
not permitted during registration periods.
Unclassified students who wish to become degree
candidates must complete the regular application process. |
