Aloha!

We look forward to seeing you soon on campus at Hawai‘i Pacific University. Our location, our academics, and the experiences we offer are all one of a kind – just like you.

We’ll help you find the path that fits your passion, and we’ll make sure you pursue learning with confidence – in the classroom, throughout our vibrant city, and across our beautiful state of Hawai‘i.

We’ll take good care of you in your new home-awayfrom-home. Picture yourself, along with a few hundred of your new friends, at our candlelight opening ceremony under Aloha Tower, with a beautiful Hawaiian sunset across Honolulu Harbor.

Let a faculty or staff member take you under their wing in our Hanai (Adopt-a-Student) program and show you how to feel at home in Hawai‘i.

Celebrate your first semester of adventures when we gather for Thanksgiving Dinner at the annual Fall Feast.

So much more awaits you as you begin your journey at the Crossroads of the Pacific, on your way to becoming a world-ready Shark for life!

You’re going to love it!

STEP 5 CONNECT WITH YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR

Our cohort advising model will enable you to develop a collaborative working relationship with a professional advisor.

First-year students will work directly with their academic advisor to finalize their class schedule, and transfer students have the opportunity to self-register within the MyHPU portal.

All deposited students are encouraged to attend an online advising webinar (hpu.edu/webinars).
