A Note From the Provost Aloha Rainbow Warrior, Barring any unforeseen setbacks, the upcoming academic year will see the reopening of our beautiful campus and its amenities. For our faculty and students, this upcoming fall 2021 semester will be a transition semester, as we reopen our campus and navigate from a primarily online environment towards a primarily in-person semester in/by spring 2022. We believe that our approach will ensure that our students will learn in a safe, flexible, and stimulating environment, inspired and informed by the world-class research, scholarship, and creative work of our faculty and reinforced by stellar support services.

What to Expect on Move-In Day Whether you are an incoming freshman moving out on your own for the first time, or you are simply new to the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa as a transfer student, moving into an on-campus residence hall can be stressful. However, worry not. We have a few tips that will help make this a smooth transition during the move-in process.
10
Moving to Manoa
Make an Appointment After you have signed your housing contract and paid your deposit, be on the lookout this summer for an email to sign up for a check-in appointment day and time. All student housing residents are required to sign up for a check-in appointment in order to move in. Since you will only be allowed to move in during your designated check-in time, we recommend signing up for a time slot that you are confident you will be able to attend. Student Housing Services will send out additional detailed move-in instructions over the summer. Arrival to Campus Make sure you arrive to campus at the beginning of your appointment window so you have enough time to unload. Upon arrival, there will be staff and directional signs guiding you to your check-in and unloading locations. Heavy Lifting Each incoming resident is allowed up-to-2 people to assist them in moving into their building and room. Student Housing Services will have large rolling carts available for students to help transport large items, such as microwaves or mini-fridges. Carts are limited, so if you own a hand truck or rolling cart, be sure to bring that along to minimize heavy lifting or waiting around for a university-issued cart. Keep it Cool With the exception of Frear Hall, residence halls do not have air-conditioning, so dress accordingly. You may also want to purchase or bring in your own fan to keep cool during your move-in. You’ll want to keep it there during the semester too. Student Housing will providing bottled water during move in so everyone can stay hydrated. Inspect Your Room After you move-in, you will be given instructions for completing your online room condition form. This form is where you can assess and record any damages or concerns you see in your room. If these damages are not reported at the beginning of the year, you may be assessed a fee for them upon moving out. Be sure to take your time, and check the list twice. Common problems include tack holes in the walls, stains and chipped furniture.
For your convenience, the UHM Bookstore carries the following student survival items: toiletries, microwaves, linens, laundry baskets & detergent, fans, desk or study lamps, computers, network cables, stationery supplies, cleaning products, personal care items, umbrellas, batteries, sports equipment!

Campus Eats To ensure the student population does not go hungry, the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa mandated that students living on-campus have meal plans. Terms like meal swipes, points, Hale Aloha and Gateway will get thrown at you, and may not make sense at first. Rest assured, we’ve got you covered. Here is a rundown of meal plans at UH Manoa. Meals
Locations
Initially, the most confusing thing about a plan is the difference between meals and points. Each week, depending on your meal plan, you have seven to 19 meals a week. Using a meal swipe at one of the residence halls cafeterias, Hale Aloha Cafeteria or Gateway Cafeteria, will get you into an all-you-care-to-eat buffet. Using a meal swipe elsewhere will give you $5.50 cash value. Meals expire at the end of the week.
If you want to avoid spending cash, eat at the residence hall cafeterias, Pizza Hut, Stir Fresh, Ba-Le, the Campus Center Cafeteria, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Simply to Go and The Market. These locations accept your points as a form of payment. The best value is a residence hall cafeteria. If you do not have time to eat at the cafeteria, you can pay 50 cents for a take-out box and cup.
Points Each semester you are given a certain number of points ranging from 100 to 250, depending on which meal plan you get. A point is worth a dollar. Use points to pay the difference between one meal swipe and the full cost of your meal when not at one of the residence hall cafeterias. Points roll over from the fall to spring semester. Use them by the end of the school year. On a meal plan? The following locations are meal plan friendly: Resident Hall Dining Hale Aloha Café Gateway Café The Market (convenience store at Hale Noelani) Hemingway Hall Retail Dining Ba-Le Campus Center Retail Dining Simply to Go Jamba Juice Campus Center Food Court Stir Fresh Pizza Hut Express Starbucks For the latest Meal Plan Updates, visit: manoa.hawaii.edu/housing/residentialdining

Moving to Manoa
Is It Worth It? During your college years, you may find yourself with barely enough time to go to the cafeteria to eat. Use this first year to find the best option for the future - smaller meal plan or maybe a bigger one. Though meal plans can be costly, they can be easy and convenient for those living on campus. Spend your meals, keep track of your points and eat your fill.
There are other food options available throughout the Manoa campus, although they don’t accept meal plans. They’re just as tasty and nutritional but you will need cash or card. Paradise Palms Retail Dining* Dunkin' Donuts Holoholo Grill Le Crepe Cafe Lasoon L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Panda Express Hemingway Hall Retail Dining* Manoa Gardens Campus Center Retail Dining Farmers Market (Tuesdays & Fridays - cash only) *For an updated list of food trucks & kiosks, visit manoa.hawaii.edu/food

Get Up & Get Moving College can be stressful. Schedules are often packed with trying to juggle a social life, relationships, classes, jobs, clubs and many other responsibilities, leaving students with little to no time at all to pay attention to what they eat, or spare time to exercise. But, let’s face it: too much neglect can lead to the Freshman 15 - the traditional weight gain that many students experience during their first year of college. Below are some tips for staying fit and healthy throughout the school year.
Intramural Sports UHM offers a variety of intramural sports, including indoor/outdoor soccer, flag football, basketball, dodgeball, kickball, softball and volleyball. All leagues are welcoming to newcomers and first-timers. This is a perfect way to make new friends and meet new people, all the while staying healthy and burning those extra calories. Gym Time The Warrior Rec Center is equipped with a variety of weight machines, cardio machines, free weights, an indoor track, and volleyball and basketball courts. Familiarize yourself with the hours, rules and regulations to ensure that you come to the gym prepared. Be sure to bring your validated UHM student ID, a gym towel, workout apparel and shoes. Don't forget socks or a lock for your locker. Forgot anything? Stop by the Bookstore next door to grab any last minute items!

Leisure Center Student Recreation Services offers students many ways to be active outdoors. Students can learn how to kayak, sail, surf, body board, stand-up paddleboard, scuba dive or snorkel. To participate, stop by the Physical Education/Athletic Complex, Room 200 located near the Stan Sheriff Center. Don’t forget your validated UHM student ID and money to pay for classes. Most activity classes cost approximately $22 - $27, and more advanced classes like scuba diving or sailing are $97 - $210. Bike & Bus Riders Walking to and from class everyday is a quick way to get exercise in. Also, rather than waiting for TheBus, opt to bike or skateboard to your destination. There are more than 50 free bike racks and a bike cage on campus for bike parking. There are also bike repair stations on campus for bike commuters.
Eat Healthy While it’s tempting to grab a burger and fries or a slice of pizza, try to limit those unhealthy food selections. Increasing your fruit and vegetable intake is a great source of energy, all the while keeping extra calories at bay. Opt to make a healthy sandwich such as a pb&j with banana slices on whole wheat bread, or a salad with a bit of chicken for added protein. Bringing home lunch regularly can help you resist unhealthy temptations. Outdoor Activities Do you prefer to explore on foot or in the water? Hiking along with surfing are a few favorites when it comes to outdoor activities in Hawai‘i. There are many trails and surfing locations to explore. Participate in these activities safely by following state regulations that are in place, leave the place better than you found it, and have fun!
