How do I change my advisor?
At UH Hilo, changing advisors is an informal process.
- If you are already being advised by a faculty member in your department other than your assigned advisor, you are encouraged to notify the college/division secretary of any advisor changes.
- If you have changed your major, a new advisor may be assigned to you before advising for early registration. If your previous advisor still appears, go to the college/division office of your new major and request that you be assigned to a new advisor.
