Manoa One Card

These are obtained at the Campus Center ID and Information Office after a student has established a UH email account and registered for classes on campus. All holds and financial obligations need to be cleared before a card can be issued. A valid form of photo identification is required for a student to receive a card. Uses of the Manoa One Card range from discount rentals to dining services: U-PASS The U-PASS provides access to to all U-PASS fee paying students to use The Bus via their Manoa One Cards.

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 Café and Gateway Café 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.

Is It Worth It? During your college years, you may find yourself with barely enough time to go to the dining hall 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.

Locations If you want to avoid spending cash, eat at the resident dining halls, Ba-Le, the Campus Center Food Court, Starbucks, Jamba, and The Market. These locations accept your points as a form of payment. The best value is a resident dining hall.

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 at a retail location. Points roll over from the fall to spring semester and expire at the end of the academic year. If you are running low on points you can add money in the form of Dining Dollars to your UH ID to use like a debit card at Resident Dining Halls and Retail Locations.

To load online, visit www.uhmdining.com Meals Initially, the most confusing thing about a plan is the difference between meals and points. Each week, depending on your meal plan, you have 7 to 19 meals a week. Using a meal swipe at one of the resident dining halls, Hale Aloha Café or Gateway Café, will get you into an all-you-care-to-eat buffet. Using a meal swipe at a retail location will give you $5.50 cash value. Weekly meals begin on Sunday and expire every Saturday at midnight.

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' Holoholo Grill Le Crepe Cafe Lasoon L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Panda Express Hemenway Hall Manoa Garden Campus Center Retail Dining Farmers Market (Tuesdays & Fridays - cash only) *For an updated list of food trucks & kiosks, visit: manoa.hawaii.edu/food
