Academic Advising

UH Manoa provides academic advising for undergraduate students through the student academic services office in the appropriate college or school. Academic advisers bring to their responsibilities as educators not only knowledge of academic disciplines but also an understanding of the rationale that underlies the curricula of the colleges, schools, and the UH. Students are strongly encouraged to seek advising assistance early in their UH careers.

Academic advising includes the following activities:

  1. Assisting students in clarifying, articulating, and attaining academic and life goals;
  2. Facilitating each student’s academic adjustment to the campus;
  3. Educating students to assess academic progress and to develop appropriate educational plans;
  4. Explaining and clarifying college or school course and graduation requirements and academic rules and regulations;
  5. Counseling students on family, peer group, and other personal issues as they relate to academic progress, which may include referral to appropriate UH programs and community agencies; and
  6. Serving as advocates and mediators for students. Student services advisers complement departmental
    advisers, who are specialists in their subjects and advise declared majors about major requirements and graduate
    or professional degrees in their discipline.
