The University has approximately 3,100 bed spaces available on campus. The facilities range from traditional residence halls (coed, all female, and all male in double room occupancy or suite arrangements) to apartments (one-bedroom and two-bedroom). A limited number of disabled access and single occupancy units are available. Married students and their immediate families are incorporated into the general resident population.

Residential life offers a wide variety of programs to the residents. Groups and individuals are encouraged to participate in organized programs with opportunities for social, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, and occupational involvement. Service learning and community service projects are also offered as part of the residential life program.

Residents of the traditional residence halls are required to purchase a dining plan from a variety of dining plans offered. A dining plan is optional for apartment residents. Residents on dining plans dine at Hale Aloha Cafeteria. Contact Sodexho Marriott Services for more detailed dining plan information.

Hawai'i residents are given first priority in the assignment process, and out-of-state and foreign students are usually assigned in subsequent assignment rounds. During the last three years, all applicants were accommodated. Acceptance to the University does not automatically include on-campus housing. Students are encouraged to apply for on-campus housing by filling out a separate housing application. Please contact Student Housing Services for an application and specific application deadlines.

Parking Operations business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Visitors and students may pay a daily fee to park, on a space-available basis, in designated visitor and student parking areas. All other parking areas on campus require a valid permit.

Motorcycles and mopeds must have a paid permit to park in designated parking areas located on the designated peripheral part of campus. Visitors may pay the daily fee to park in designated visitor motorcycle and moped parking areas. Bicycles are allowed to park only at bike racks.

Because the number of student parking permits is limited, students should check in advance with Parking Operations on the procedure for obtaining the permits. Car-pool, day, evening, motorcycle, moped, and medical permits are offered on an availability basis to qualified students and faculty and staff members. Specific documents are required to obtain each type of permit.

Student parking is also available in the Institute for Astronomy parking area (permit parking) and the Center for Hawaiian Studies gravel parking area ($2 daily parking). A shuttle bus provides service from these parking areas to the main campus.

Because parking on or near campus is limited, students are encouraged to seek alternative means of transportation to campus. The Manoa campus is also served by the city bus system (local route numbers 4, 6, and 18, plus express routes). For information, call (808) 848-5555. Monthly bus passes are available at the Campus Center Information Desk, Campus Center 212. A free shuttle service is provided as a convenient means of transportation within the campus. 

Parking regulations on campus are enforced 24 hours daily throughout the year. Vehicles in violation are subject to citation and/or towing.
