Students have from now until <\/span>November 9<\/b> to complete their STAR workshop. Students are encouraged to attend a STAR workshop as soon as possible to remove their hold for next semester\u2019s registration; if the hold is still present in their UH account they are unable to select courses to take until a workshop is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt [STAR] will help them graduate on time, it keeps them on track, they can plan their classes for spring already, and then learn how to use the new registration tool,\u201d said LaVach\u00e9 Scanlan, the First Year Experience coordinator. \u201c… It\u2019s different from MyUH.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Students who are unable to attend the set dates for a STAR workshop can contact their counselors specific to their major but are encouraged to contact the FYE Office first before taking matters into their own hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can set up an alternative to the workshop,\u201d Scanlan said. \u201cWe \u2026 don\u2019t want them trying to figure it out on their own; we\u2019re trying to make sure that the communication is better and clearer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
