As our reliance on technology grows, so does our risk of attacks, unauthorized access, fraud, and theft.

Join us at RCUH’s 2018 forum “Cybersecurity: Protect, Detect, Respond” for a current look at threats to the University of Hawai‘i and our statewide and nationwide communities. Panelists will share information on cyber threats and discuss steps you can take to safeguard your information and systems.

This forum is free and open to the public. Due to limited seating at the UH Manoa IT Center, RCUH will be live-streaming the broadcast so that participants can view the forum from their desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

PDF versions for all online transactions approved on July 1, 2012 to the present date are now available in the RCUH Financial Portal.  PDF versions for online transactions approved June 30, 2012 and prior are available upon request by contacting Ricky Fujioka.

A PDF version of the online transaction is a snapshot of the document at the time of approval and is kept for archival purposes.  As RCUH continues to improve our system and make necessary modifications to our forms, the PDF version ensures that we have an exact copy of the document when it was approved. The PDF version will reflect the form in its state at the time of approval.  However, the online version will reflect the form in the current layout.

If you have any questions, please contact Ricky Fujioka at [email protected] or (808) 988-8346.

RCUH is pleased to announce that notary service is now available at our Manoa Innovation Center office (2800 Woodlawn Drive, Suite 200, Honolulu, HI 96822).
