Appointment Scheduling:

All current Exploratory students can sign up for an advising appointment through STAR Balance.

All non-Exploratory students who wish to

  • schedule a Major Exploration appointment will need to email macadv@hawaii.edu from their @hawaii.edu email address to request an appointment.
  • declare an Exploratory pathway can email macadv@hawaii.edu from their @hawaii.edu email address to do so.

How advising works:

MAC students include students in the various Exploratory paths; on STAR, their major starts with EX (see list below).

Exploratory Freshmen typically work with peer advisors for most major exploration, registration, course selection and scheduling services. If, however, they need to have forms signed, they must work with academic advisors. 

All other Exploratory students work with academic advisors for their major exploration, registration, course selection and scheduling services.

Exploratory students are required to clear mandatory advising every semester.
