Office of Student Academic Services (OSAS)

E komo mai! OSAS provides academic advising to all undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students, as well as all students who wish to become a teacher.

Please be advised, due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, that our office will remain committed to serving you while keeping in mind the health and safety of our students, staff, and faculty.  We have temporarily shifted to virtual Express Advising and will be offering scheduled telephone, Zoom and in-person appointments but this is subject to change depending on COVID-19ʻs status.  You may contact our office by email at osas@hawaii.edu.  We will continue to monitor the situation and ask that you also keep abreast of the current status by visiting the COVID-19 UH updates page.

Submit all completed paperwork requiring College of Education OSAS advisor approval to osas@hawaii.edu using UH FileDrop.

To be on a UH campus and make an in-person appointment, you must meet UH health requirements.  Please kindly wear a face mask in our OSAS advising office. For more information, visit UH Mānoa’s COVID-19 Resources and Information website.

Only one (1) additional person may accompany you for your appointment. Please kindly wear a face mask covering your mouth and nose.  If you or the other member of your party are not feeling well, please cancel and reschedule your appointment.

Bring your student ID card.  If you arrive more than ten (10) minutes late, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment for a later date.

When you arrive at Everly Hall, call our office to let us know you are here.

During peak times, academic advising will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis on Zoom or telephone. Advisors will be available to assist with general and mandatory advising, transfer credit evaluations, graduation checks, removing holds placed by OSAS (i.e., GPA holds). Log into the Virtual Peak Season Advising STAR Balance Kiosk. The schedule is listed below.

Note: For currently enrolled KRS- Health & Exercise Science (HES), KRS- Health & Physical Education, BEd- Elementary Education, and BEd- Secondary Education, there are general advising appointments (for mandatory advising, general registration assistance) available. Schedule an appointment. If you are not yet officially declared in any of these programs or our Minor in Education and have general questions about these programs or need registration assistance and prefer a scheduled appointment, please call OSAS at (808) 956-7849 and we will be happy to help you schedule an appointment. These appointments are not for transfer credit evaluations, graduation checks, or to remove a hold placed by OSAS.
