Advising Center

Welcome to the Hilo Advising Center!

Advising will only be available on a drop-in basis (in-person, Zoom, and phone) through January 20, 2026, due to peak demand periods at the start of the semester. Log in and the next available advisor will be able to help you weekdays from 8:00am - 3:45pm (HST), except holidays and scheduled closures.

Have the prerequisite for classes you're trying to add, but receiving a registration error? Sign into the UH Hilo advising kiosk. Select "Registration override(s)" as the reason for your visit and include the class(es) you're trying to add. An advisor can help you.
