Notes:
Advising is a very important resource designed to help students complete the requirements of the University and their individual majors. Students should consult with their advisor at least once a semester to decide on courses, check progress towards graduation, and discuss career options and other educational opportunities provided by UH-Hilo. Advising is a shared responsibility, but students have final responsibility for meeting degree requirements.
Any student with a documented disability who would like to request accommodations should contact the University Disabilities Services Office - Hale Kauanoe A Wing Lounge, 933-0816 (V), 933-3334 (TTY), Campus Center Room 311, shirachi@hawaii.edu - as early in the semester as possible.
