Changes to Address
It is very important that the University has your current address information. The following are types of addresses that you may provide the University.
Types of Address
This is where you can be reached when classes are not in session and if other addresses you provide are not correct. Your diploma will be mailed here as the last resort.
Your mailing address is your primary student address and is used by the University for most correspondence, including refund checks. If you do not have a mailing address on file, all items will be sent to your permanent address.
This is the address where your diploma will go to by default if it is different from your mailing or permanent address. Graduating students who do not have an Address After Graduation entered will have their diploma mailed to their mailing address and/or their permanent address on file. Please ensure that you update your address information in myUH prior to the Diploma Mailing Dates. The Office of the Registrar is not responsible for lost diplomas as a result of incorrect address information.
This is the address you are physically present at during the academic semester/year. Only provide this address if your permanent or mailing address is different from your physical location.
Address Information for International Students
International students with F-1 and J-1 visas are required to report a new U.S. current residence in MyUH within 10 days of a change in U.S. address. F-1 and J-1 students must have a permanent address in their home country and may not claim a U.S. address as a permanent address. Please contact International Student Services (ISS) at issmanoa@hawaii.edu for more information.

The following information may be processed only if there is a legal requirement for such a change: legal name, date of birth, permanent address, SSN, and legal gender/sex.
Former students should contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance.
