Registration & Academic Policies

Important Dates

Registration

You can register for classes via your CUH portal or by contacting your academic advisor. Registration will be accepted at any site for all classes (refer to page with specific times and days under Locations and Advisors). All outstanding financial accounts with Chaminade must be cleared before registration will be accepted. Please make sure that your daytime telephone number and contact information are updated in your CUH student portal.

Health Clearance

Tuberculosis clearance is necessary for registration. All on-campus and on-base students born after 1957 are also required to show proof of immunization for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) as well as two doses of the Varicella vaccination and Tdap vaccination. All civilian students who wish to take ground courses on base must register early and request a base pass at least two weeks for Schofield and Tripler and at least four weeks for Pearl Harbor before classes begin. Please contact Stari Nakano, Assistant Dean of Students at stari.nakano@chaminade.edu or call (808) 735-4710 with Health Clearance questions.

Withdrawals

When a student officially withdraws from a course (through the Records Office by emailing records@chaminade.edu), whether or not the student attends class, a refund of tuition* will be made in accordance with the following:

Withdrawal Period	Deadline (4:30 PM HST)	Tuition Refund
Withdrawal Prior to the First Day of the Term	Sunday, April 11, 2021	100%
Withdrawal during Add/Drop Period	Tuesday, April 20, 2021	100%
Withdrawal during the Second Week of the Term	Friday, April 23, 2021	25%
No Record Withdrawal “W” will not appear on transcript	Wednesday, April 28, 2021	No Refund
Last Day to Withdraw	Wednesday, May 26, 2021	No Refund

*All fees and costs outside of tuition are non-refundable once the term begins.

Only when the student presents written evidence such as military orders, a doctor’s statement, or other reasonable justifying documentation for post-deadline withdrawal will the request be approved. Withdrawal instructions may be obtained from an advisor at the various sites.

Online & Military Base students may withdraw without record until the Wednesday of Week 3 of a 10-week term. In the case of undergraduate courses of other lengths, the last date of withdrawal will be set at the corresponding point of the term, which occurs when the course is approximately 25% complete. Withdrawal from a course after the last day of No Record Withdrawal will be noted as a “W” on a student’s transcript.

Instructors may withdraw students who miss two consecutive weeks of classes, prior to the withdrawal deadline. Withdrawals are only effective for tuition refunds when initiated by the student during the refund period and in accordance with the appropriate refund schedule. The student must obtain written permission from the instructor to be re-enrolled in a class from which the student has been withdrawn. A re-enrollment fee is also charged to the student’s account.

Military Base Security & Parking

All students must contact the site office (on base) at minimum 14 days prior to the start of the term for Schofield and Tripler to request a pass. Pearl Harbor requests 30 days notice due to extended processing times. Non-military students wishing to attend Chaminade University classes held on military bases are welcomed, subject to a background check and approval from Base Authority in the form of a base pass for each base site.

Students enrolled at multiple base sites are required to obtain a pass for each base site and a new pass is required for each term. Late pass requests will not be accepted. Access to some military bases may not be possible due to increased security conditions. Seat belts must be worn at all times, speed limits and any other restrictions must be obeyed. Motorcycle and moped operators and passengers must wear a helmet and reflective vest.
