Student Fall Schedule
Updated: August 23, 2022
The student schedule for first year students runs across 3 required days during the week before classes begin. The student schedule for transfer, visiting, and exchange students is held on one required day the week before classes begin. These sessions and events provide opportunities for new students to learn about the university, meet faculty and staff, develop relationships, and explore the island.
As the university prepares to welcome new students to campus this fall, we continue to review and make adjustments to the fall orientation schedule. Modifications are made with the health and well-being of our students, parents and family members in mind. Please check this website frequently for updates.
**All Orientation activities will take place at Aloha Tower Marketplace unless otherwise specified on the schedule.**
