If you are General ("undeclared") student, please contact us. With the exception of ELI students, pre-pharmacy, and pre-engineering students, most General students are assigned to an academic advisor in the UH Hilo Advising Center.

If you have declared a major, then your advisor will be a faculty member in your major department(s) and should be contacted directly for advising. To find your advisor, click on "Advisor Search ". If you need clarification about General Education and graduation requirements, please contact us.If you have visited the Advising Center, you are reminded to consult with your academic department(s) after your advising appointment.

It is imperative that incoming students with declared majors meet with faculty advisors to go over course selection and sequencing in the majors.

Incoming transfer students, please resolve all transfer issues, such as outstanding transcripts, with the Admissions Office, before the end of their first semester at UH Hilo.
