FREE Chemistry Department Application Prescreening
You may choose to submit your application materials to the Chemistry Department for a prescreening prior to moving forward with your application to the UH Manoa Graduate Division and paying the associated fees.
Please email the following information to Prof. Tius at tius@hawaii.edu for a free pre-screening:
- A personal statement. If there is a certain research area that you are interested in, you are encouraged to identify them in the statement.
- Unofficial undergraduate transcripts. If you are a master’s student, please also include your graduate transcripts.
- (if applicable) English language proficiency test score. If you are an international applicant, you might need to provide evidence for English language proficiency. Please refer to the website for more information. At this stage of your application, we encourage you to submit your material to Prof. Tius even if you have not taken the English language proficiency test score or your current score does not meet the required minimum scores for graduate teaching assistantship.
Please also arrange for 3 (three) letters of evaluations to be sent directly from your references’ email addresses to Professor Tius’ email at tius@hawaii.edu. These letters should be confidential, thus should NOT be sent by you.

US residents application deadline :
- Fall admission: May 1
- Spring admission: September 1
Foreign students application deadline :
- Fall admission: March 1
