Departments submit a UHM-1 form to add a new course and a UHM-2 form to modify an existing course.
(See below, “Resources,” to download the form.)
Submission Process and Guidelines for UHM-1 and UHM-2 Forms
The revised guidelines and UHM forms for creating new courses and modifying existing courses are effective Fall 2021. All UHM-1 and UHM-2 forms are submitted electronically to uhmcrse@hawaii.edu. Please create a single pdf file for each course that consists of the appropriate UHM form and syllabus, as well as any additional attachments to be included (e.g., relevant memos, additional justification documents required for new course proposals for Graduate Division-administered programs, etc.). Please ensure that program chairs for cross-listed courses are consulted and all internal reviews (curriculum committee review, etc.) are completed before submitting forms to your dean’s office for review, approval, and submission to the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Excellence (OVPAE).
