University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa welcomes nearly 25,000 faculty, staff, students, and visitors to the campus everyday.

UH Mānoa encourages alternative transportation options to commute to the Mānoa campus. Alternative transportation options not only offer opportunities to save on fuel costs and parking fees, it also helps UH Mānoa to mālama ‘āina or take care of our limited resources and minimize the impact to our environment and neighboring communities.
The university’s Rainbow Shuttle system provides frequent access to the UH Mānoa campus for UH Mānoa students, faculty, staff and affiliates through routes that are not services through similar public transportation means. This free service, funded solely by UH Mānoa Commuter Services, includes regular runs to and from residence halls and off-campus parking locations. For shuttle schedules and real-time GPS locations, download the “UHM Shuttle” tracker app or go to www.uhmshuttle.com. (Note: Due to COVID 19, shuttle services may be impacted. Check our website at www.manoa. hawaii.edu/commuter for the most current updates).
Bicycling is a great alternative to commuting to campus. Bike parking on campus is free at any authorized bike rack. There are more than 50 bike rack locations across campus. Bike share is also available. Check out our website for a map of bike racks and for more information.

The challenges of relating successfully to others, achieving or maintaining one’s independence, choosing the right career, and leading a happy and successful life converge during a student’s college years. College life adds the stress of exams, term papers, quizzes, and class reports. Even students who are prepared to do their best in college may experience challenges. The Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC) provides the following services to assist students.
Personal Counseling
Some people occasionally, even regularly, feel worried, unhappy, and/or depressed. Lack of confidence, fear, low self-esteem, inability to get along with others, loneliness, not being able to cope with people and situations, and similar challenges can be discussed with one of CSDC’s professional mental health clinicians. All matters discussed in counseling are confidential and will not affect academic standing.
Psychiatric Consultation
People who find themselves severely depressed, unable to control their behavior, or doing things they do not understand may need psychiatric consultations. An appointment with a CSDC mental health clinician is required to determine whether a psychiatric consultation is needed.
Outreach
Workshops and trainings to promote personal development and academic success are available upon request. Stress management, time management, sleep hygiene, building relationships, and assisting students in distress are just a few of the topics that are available. Sessions to address specific needs can be developed at the request of faculty or student groups.
Consultation
CSDC provides consultation services for individual students, faculty, and groups that may need help with organizational problems, overcoming interpersonal difficulties, and planning staff development programs.
Testing
Testing is frequently used as part of counseling services to help students understand themselves better and plan their careers. Counselors will discuss with the student which assessments to take and will provide interpretation session(s). In addition, the Testing Office administers national computer-based exams, such as the GRE (General and Subject), TOEFL, PRAXIS, CLEP, and Meazure Learning testing program exams. The Testing Office also offers individual proctoring services for students taking distance learning courses outside the UH system (i.e., from another school/institution). For more information, please visit the Testing Office website at www.manoa.hawaii.edu/counseling/testing_office/.
Career Counseling
Students should decide on their major(s) before they progress very far in their academic program(s). Most students expect their academic studies to lead to specific careers upon graduation. Career counseling at CSDC is assessment-based and includes exploring strengths and limitations, interests and values, personality and skills. We apply this understanding to developing academic and occupational plans. (See also “Mānoa Career Center.”)
