FAQs: ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For assistance with navigating the new system, the Counseling Office in Hilo and Palamanui will offer sessions to provide hands-on assistance. Please contact the Counseling Office at 934-2720 (Hilo) 969-8816 (Palamanui) or Star Help Center.

A Change of Major must be completed and submitted to the Records Office to change your major officially. Once the change is made, STAR will begin to default to your new major two weeks before the start of the new semester. In the meantime, the student can do a "What If Journey" to determine how courses already taken will apply to the new major.​

Further detailed information about the course can be found by clicking on the down arrow in the class selection portion of STAR:

Students with holds will still be able to use a "Preview" feature that will allow you to build a course schedule. However, you cannot submit your registration until the hold has been resolved. Please note that classes selected during the Preview are not held, so other students can still fill up seats in the classes selected. The only way to lock in registration is to resolve the hold and click the "submit registration" button while the classes are still available.

Students on catalog years before Fall 2013, Unclassified students, or Early College/Early Admit students do not currently have a prescribed STAR Graduation Pathway. Registration can be completed in the STAR GPS Registration system using the "Personal Choice" option. This allows students to select from any course that is offered. For assistance with registering, please see a Counselor or Advisor.​

All prerequisites and requirements for courses are still in effect. Students who receive these errors but believe they are eligible to register for this course must receive an override from the instructor before being able to register for the class.

We continuously strive to ensure the STAR GPS Registration system's accuracy and ease of use. If you suspect your planner is showing an error, please contact the Counseling Office or the Records Office nearest you to report and resolve your situation. Thank you for your patience and assistance
