Eligibility to Register

Noncredit courses are open to anyone who is at least 18 years of age or a high school graduate. Although there are no prerequisites for admission into the noncredit program, a specific course may require the student to have some background experience in order to fully benefit from it.

How to Register and Pay

When paying with your VISA or MasterCard, conveniently:

Register by Mail or Fax: Provide all information requested on the Noncredit Registration Form. Download the form and remit with full payment.

Register in Person: At the Outreach College Student Services Office, Krauss Hall Information Window, Room 101.

Confirmation

If you do not receive a confirmation receipt within 7 days or if you enroll less than 5 working days prior to the start of the class, call 956-8400 to confirm enrollment and to find out whether the class will be held as announced.

Financial Liability Policy

Enrollment at the University of Hawai‘i signifies consent to, and acceptance of all policies and procedures governing enrollment, including financial liability. Students who fail to remit payment when due, agree to pay the University of Hawai‘i all reasonable costs for collection, to include collection agency, attorney's and court fees.

Withdrawal/Refund Policy

You receive a full refund if your request is received by 12 noon two working days before the course begins, unless otherwise specified.

Withdrawal/refund requests are made by phone (956-8400), in person, or by writing to Outreach College. Faxed or mailed withdrawal requests must include the student's signature.

Failure to attend class or notify your instructor of your intent to withdraw does not constitute an official withdrawal from class.

Students registering with a purchase order are billed regardless of attendance, unless notification of withdrawal is made by the specified refund deadlines.

Refunds for check and cash payments are processed within 4 to 6 weeks. For credit card payments, refunds are credited to the account originally charged and reflected on your monthly credit card statement.

If you have a question regarding the status of your refund, call the Outreach College business office at 956-5899.

Student Code of Conduct

Students enrolled in noncredit and credit classes at Outreach College are expected to abide by the University of Hawai‘i rules, regulations, and student code of conduct. For more information, refer to the university's student conduct webpage, or see UH-Manoa Policies and Procedures.

Campus Services for Noncredit Students

Textbooks
Textbooks included in the course fee are distributed during the first class session.

Find your books in a special Outreach College "Noncredit" section at the University Bookstore.

Parking
Outreach College participants may park on the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa campus on a space-available basis. A $3 fee is charged Monday through Saturday (day and evening).

Certificates of Completion

Many Outreach College noncredit courses qualify for professional continuing education units. Certificates of completion denoting the number of contact hours (instructional hours) can be given to those students whose instructors, upon completion of the course, verify in writing that the student attended at least 80% of the class sessions. Inform your instructor on the first day of class if you are interested in receiving a certificate. Students may submit these certificates to their respective professional organizations for review and granting of continuing education units.
