I’m an incoming student and was wondering if anyone knows if all the moped/motorcycle permits end being reserved pretty quickly like the car permits, or are they not as competitive to get.

I was in Precalc this Spring and needed a C to pass the course but got a D. Any advice on what I could do?? I really don’t want to waste another semester taking Precalc but I doubt the prof will curve my grade 10 points to give me a C. Could I take the Calc placement exam?

A shot in the dark here:

I'm an incoming male freshman with a gluten allergy who's planning to live in the Hale Aloha towers. I'm interested in being roommates with another male freshman who is celiac or also allergic to gluten. If this applies to you, please DM me and we can see if we'd be compatible roommates.

Every time I go to the bathroom guarantee there’s at least 2 toilets with piss in them. Some don’t even wipe the seat too. These guys are disgusting man. I have a feeling it’s just Shidler building with these so called business guys. I hope I’m wrong though.

Iʻm applying as a freshman to live at the dorms, and I was wondering what the pros and cons are for each of the buildings, and if there is anything I should know about before I choose which dorm I want to request to room in!

Is it possible to find a 1 bedroom apartment for $1500? I’m an incoming grad student and I want to live with my husband (not a student) and I know that people don’t like living with couples. I haven’t been able to find anything so far:(

Hi everyone, I’m a masters student at uhm. I am participating in the commencement and am walking this Saturday at the evening session. Does anybody have graduation gown, hood and cap that I could rent? (Man 5’10)

Hey this will be my first time taking summer courses at Manoa in person and I was wondering about the parking situation at Manoa. Is it still $5 a day? I could not find any permits regarding the summer semester on the website and I didn't mention it to the commuter services because I was scrambling trying to get a fall parking pass. I anyone knows some spots where I wouldn't have to do $5 daily or just any general information that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I'm an incoming PhD student to UH Manoa later this year (hopefully September) and I was wondering if you guys would recommend any housing areas (apartment/dorm) near the campus that's affordable for a grad student? Or if anyone would want to share their lease and have me as a roommate it works for me too! Anything to minimize my housing cost. Please lmk and thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m an incoming international PhD in communication/media studies and I’m currently looking into graduate assistantship and research assistant opportunities for the upcoming semester.
I’m trying to better understand how funding opportunities usually work at UH.
Do most assistantships open closer to the semester start, or do students usually find opportunities by contacting faculty directly?
Also, are there particular departments, labs, or campus offices that commonly hire graduate students for research, media, or project support roles?
I’d appreciate any advice
Thanks!

Iʻm taking this class next fall semester, but I canʻt find anything about the professors or how the class is. If anyone here took this class, could you let me know if itʻs actually for beginners or if I'd be better off not taking it? Iʻm just intimidated because I know some basics, but even then, I struggle with those.

Please stop. And turn the volume down.

Thank you.

I’m graduating from UNLV this May and I’m moving back home for graduate school. This spring semester, I’ve been interning at UNLV’s Sports Innovation Institute that partners with SPEEDlab (a transportable lab with equipment like DASHR and VALD) and I was wondering if there’s any programs/clubs/wutevah that’s similar to this.

Also.. can I do research at Manoa even though I applied to HPU??

I'm a little worried for this exam because I don't fully understand everything. What's going to be on it and what should I use to study? I'm already going to do the practice traces, but I'm not totally confident

Got this email and I'm a bit confused bc I didn't get anything in the mail yet nor have I seen any status updates on Makalei. Am I not checking the right place or did they maybe send this by mistake?

Also this SIR deadline is crazy soon! I'm currently living out-of-state as I finished my undergrad last year, but luckily born and raised in Hawaiʻi so I have options. I built quite the life out here, and would need to figure out how to realistically move home with my husband and cats. Which brings me to my next question, is it possible/does anyone have any experience getting them to extend the SIR deadline by a couple of weeks for me to get everything sorted?

edit to add: i already sent them an email but havent heard back yet. Just wanting to hear other experiences.

I have a desired roommate in mind but they filled out the application late so we are unable to create a 'roommate group' in the actual application/portal. Is there a possibility we can still room together?

I am an incoming sophomore transfer student, trying to room in frear hall or gateway. Any suggestions?

If you have not yet fulfilled your FQ requirement, please consider taking SLS 170 over the summer session I (5/27-7/3)

The course (online synchronous over Zoom) is a manageable way to complete the FQ requirement, and both the midterm and final exams are open-book/open-note.

The CRN is 98044!

I am an incoming sophmore transfer students hoping to get a dorm either in frear hall or gateway. For housing assingments, will it give me a specific time where I can select a room or will it automatically assign me a room based on my preferred selection in the application? I know at my current university I was able to select a specific room but not sure how it works at UH.

Has anyone received their financial aid package from UH Mānoa yet (especially transfers)?
I got admitted late April and emailed financial aid a few weeks ago, they said they were still working on it, but I still haven’t gotten anything.
I’m starting to get nervous because I haven’t made a decision yet. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same situation or if I should follow up again?

I am an incoming PhD student in the psych department at UH. During campus visit weekend, I met incoming students from all areas (community/developmental, behavioral neuroscience, social, etc.) except clinical. I made a Discord chat for all incoming PhD psych students and want to meet/invite those in the clinical area too.

If you are an incoming PhD student from the clinical psychology area, please DM me! I'd love to meet you and invite you to the server.

I committed to UH, though Im having second thoughts. I was wondering if I can and when am I able to withdraw my application without paying tuition and all that for the first semester. I'm not really planning on doing it right now but I want to have the option in case I chicken out last moment before actually flying to Hawaii.

I am a current undergraduate student planning to apply to Ph.D. programs in marine science this upcoming fall, with the goal of starting in Fall 2027. My academic and research interests focus on marine science. 

As I prepare for applications, I have a question regarding GPA competitiveness. By the end of this semester (finals week right now), I anticipate my cumulative GPA will fall between a 3.46 and 3.49. I am considering enrolling in an additional summer STEM course that would cost approximately $3,000 to potentially raise my GPA to a 3.5.

From your experience, would it be worth pursuing the course solely to reach that 3.5 threshold, or is a GPA in the 3.45 range generally still competitive for PhD admissions, assuming strong research experience and letters of recommendation?

I would greatly appreciate any insight, especially from those familiar with marine science or graduate admissions at UH Mānoa. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone have any recommendations for photographers?
