5.303 Mandatory Advising


Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Excellence (OVPAE)


Academic advising at UH Mānoa is an expression of our educational mission and ideals. Advising helps students to integrate and discern meaning from the many facets of their academic journey and to locate their unique journey within the context of their hopes, dreams, abilities, goals, interests, and in fact, within the full trajectory of their lives. Advising conveys higher education’s modes of thinking, learning, and decision making, teaches students to think critically about their roles and responsibilities, and encourages students to become active members in our higher education community as well as leaders in our global community.

Incoming freshmen will receive mandatory advising every fall and spring semester for their first two years.
