• • New student registration dates:

    1. Fall semester registration period: Mid-July

    2. Spring semester registration period: Late November

  • Create your class schedule and register for classes online through our standard registration system called STAR GPS. 

STAR GPS guides students to timely graduation by combining student history with their academic program information, creating a graduation pathway. Be sure to have the following, in order to register for classes:

• • 1. Have your UH username (see to-do item #1)

    2. Confirm eligibility - you’ve been officially offered your admission to the University and paid your tuition deposit (see to-do item #2)

    3. Know your registration appointment time - you will be assigned an appointment time which can be found in STAR GPS. You can begin registering on the date indicated in STAR until the first week of classes.

    4. Clear any holds

    5. Meet with your academic advisor

You can schedule an appointment with an advisor through STAR Balance. If you need further assistance, here is a video tutorial for you to reference.

1. Log into your STAR account to access your unofficial transcript(s). 

   1. 1. 1. • Once you are logged in, look for the Transcripts link at the top menu. 

2. You will want to verify if all of your previous institutions and courses are listed on the unofficial transcript. 

3. Do any of your courses say "Detailed Syllabus Required" instead of listing a specific UH Mānoa course equivalency? If yes, collect the syllabi for any courses marked with this notation and email them to the Office of Admissions (manoa.admissions@hawaii.edu) for evaluation. 

4. Do any of your courses say "To Department for Review" instead of listing a specific UH Mānoa course equivalency? If yes, the Office of Admissions received syllabi to review for the course(s) labeled "To Department for Review." The department is currently reviewing the syllabi to determine equivalency. Once reviewed, the equivalency will be updated on the STAR transcript.

Please allow 4-6 weeks for your transcript to be evaluated. If it has been more than 6 weeks, please contact the Office of Admissions to inquire about the status (manoa.admissions@hawaii.edu).

• Math and Chemistry Placement Exams determine whether students have the background to begin in the required chemistry and math courses for their major, or if they need additional review in the form of preparatory courses.

  • The Math and Chemistry Placement Exams do not waive or give credit for any degree requirements.

  • You can review the major’s requirements in the University’s Catalog to determine if you need math or chemistry.

• Second language: some majors require a second language for graduation. If you have a background in a language other than English (through formal instruction and/or speaking it at home), you should take a placement exam to place into an appropriate level of language study to potentially be eligible for back credits.

• You can learn how to schedule your placement exam by using the link provided below and navigating to the appropriate subject tab.
