UNIV 110-3

UNIV 110 registration for Fall 2024 will begin according to standard registration dates on the UH Manoa Academic Calendar.

WHY UNIV 110?

The jump from high school to college is a challenge for many reasons. Finding your way around a new campus, making friends, and adjusting to the academic rigor of courses can be overwhelming to any student.

UNIV 110 is designed to assist first-year students' transition to college through building personal connections with other students in the same transitional phase as them.

WHAT IS UNIV 110?

UNIV 110 is a one-credit seminar offered as a stand-alone course that freshmen can sign up for during standard registration. This course includes:

  • Weekly Meetings - Students meet once a week for 50 minutes with a set group of no more than 20 students.
  • Upperclassman Peer Mentor - The seminar is facilitated by an upperclassman peer mentor who can provide insight on transitioning to college and relay useful information regarding UHM's services/layout.
  • Informative Lesson Plans - Each week, the peer mentor will go over information that is pertinent to successful acclimation to college. Topics such as accessing campus resources, study tips, and money management are some of the many useful lectures that UNIV 110 students will learn from.

The transition to college is definitely not an easy one, which is why UNIV 110 works to alleviate some of the stress that is placed on first year students. It is the ideal way for students to get the hang of all aspects of college in their first semester so that they can continue to succeed in the semesters to follow.
