We look forward to having everyone back on campus, as UH Hilo will be open tomorrow, Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

New student check-in and orientation activities will take place as scheduled, and we look forward to welcoming our new haumāna!

Our continued aloha goes out to those severely impacted by Hurricane Lala. E mālama pono nō.

Me ke aloha,
