Online Services for 'Ohana

‘Ohana is the Hawaiian word for "family". At the University of Hawaii, ‘Ohana refers to the the extended UH Community consisting of alumni, former faculty or staff, and former University department affiliates that have a UH Username but no longer have an active affiliation with the University. The initial ITS services available to Ohana include:

  • Password Administration - Includes the management of your secret questions and answers that you can use to reset your password.
  • Google@UH Services (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sites, Groups) - Includes the continued availability of all data stored in Google@UH services such as emails and files within your Google Drive. POP and IMAP access to Google@UH Gmail will also continue.
  • STAR - STAR academic advising allows most alumni to request for unofficial transcripts. To get official transciprts, you must contact the Registrar's Office.
  • SECE (only for students who earned a degree from UH) - The Student Employment website now lists full-time jobs, which are available to recent UH graduates
  • MyUH - This academic portal contains links to many UH online services

'Ohana enrolment must be renewed annually. You will be sent a series of reminders in advance of the annual renewal date. If you do not renew on time, we will be unable to re-establish your 'Ohana credentials (username and password) and associated services. Additionally, any data associated with your UH Username such as emails, contacts, and documents will no longer be available.

'Ohana users who exceed their Google@UH quota (7.5 GB) may have their UH Usernames disabled. This will result in the loss of access to associated online services for 'Ohana and the loss of all data sotred within their Google@UH account. See https://hawaii.edu/askus/1891 for more information on the Google@UH storage policy for 'Ohana and for help with managing your storage.

ITS reminds our ‘Ohana users that continued access to UH Usernames and associated services are not an entitlement and are provided as a privilege. All services available via the UH Username are still governed by applicable UH policies and State laws, including UH Executive Policy E2.210 (link) and Chapter 708, Hawaii Revised Statutes (link).

Former faculty, staff, and affiliates are further reminded that, pursuant to EP 2.210 Section III.E., your former employing unit/department can exercise authority over your UH Username and can request to have access to your UH Username revoked or have departmental data transferred from the account.

The specific resources described in this article are provided to 'Ohana users by ITS. Services offered by individual UH Campuses or departments may vary and are not managed or supported by ITS. Examples of such services may include Library Database Access or Printing Services (link).
