Spring Registration has Begun!
It's time to start preparing for next semester! If you haven't registered for classes already, be sure to do so ASAP! Classes are filling up quickly so register for your Spring 2016 classes before the class you want becomes full! It is highly recommended that you get your Math and English courses out of the way so you can take the DMED classes you need.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For students who register during Nov. 2-Dec.11, 2015, the PAYMENT DEADLINE is 3:30pm on Friday, Dec. 11, 2015. Students are responsible for payment of tuition and fees incurred because of registration. The University reserves the right to cancel your registration.
If you register after Dec. 11, 2015 you are responsible to make a payment or officially withdraw by the appropriate deadlines. Failure to do this could result in a FINANCIAL OBLIGATION HOLD.

For any Character Animation majors who are under the 2014 - 2015 catalog or older, if you need to take ART 214 & DMED 242 next semester (Spring 2016), please contact me (Amy Amper) ASAP. Call me (808-455-0221) or email me (amyamper@hawaii.edu) with the subject line: ART 214/DMED 242. For those that aren't already aware, there is currently a scheduling conflict with these two classes, and both are requirements for Character Animation majors.
Also, for those Digital Photography majors who are under the 2013-2014 catalog or older, if you have not already taken ART 156, please register for it in Spring 2016, because the prerequisite will be changing for the Fall 2016 - Spring 2017 year.
What is Career and Technical Education?
Career and Technical Education (CTE) is an educational program that aligns academic standards with technical knowledge and skills to prepare students for careers in current or emerging occupations and further education. CTE is the only educational program in which course content is guided by business and industry input. The CTE vision is “Nationwide, Career Technical Education (CTE) programs are changing, evolving and innovating to better serve the country’s needs. CTE is preparing students of all ages to help drive America’s success and vitality. Further, it is creating an educational environment that integrates core academics with real-world relevance. CTE is leading this change, transforming expectations and making a difference for students, for secondary and postsecondary schools, for businesses and industry—in America.
