Prior to requesting certification, please look at the Class Schedule Guidelines page.
Once you have finalized your registration, complete the Enrollment Certification Request Form (ECRF). We cannot certify your class enrollment to the VA without this form, so make sure to complete it each semester.
Timeline
ECRFs are processed within 2 weeks in the order they are received. Contacting the Office of the Registrar does not change this date or expedite the processing. It is your responsibility to ensure proper and timely submission of your ECRF each semester. While late ECRFs can be certified, it does not guarantee that financial holds will be removed from your student account.
A notification will be sent to your hawaii.edu email when your UH Mānoa classes have been certified to the VA. If you are taking classes at a secondary school, you will receive a separate notification from that campus.

Instructions:
- WAIT a full 48 hours after you register or after any changes (e.g., add/drop, advisor exceptions) are made in STAR before submitting this form. If you do not wait, you will have to redo the form and it will delay your certification.
- UH Community College classes may show as being not in plan. Even if they do not show in plan, submit the form, and a School Certifying Official will check your STAR GPS for in plan designations.
- You must resubmit the ECRF if you make any changes to your class schedule. Keep in mind that changes from your original submission may result in having to owe back money to the VA and/or UH Mānoa.
Non-UH System Classes
If you are taking classes at a school outside of the UH system, including participation in Study Abroad or National Student Exchange programs, you must complete a Concurrent Enrollment Certification Request Form.
Graduate & Post-Baccalaureate Unclassified Students
Instructions:
- Submit this form after you have finalized your class schedule.
- You must resubmit the ECRF if you make any changes to your class schedule. Keep in mind that changes from your original submission may result in having to owe back money to the VA and/or UH Mānoa.
