The First Year Advising Center (FYAC) is a walk-in advising / resource center for first year (incoming freshmen and first semester transfer) students. The FYAC is staffed by peer advisors (fellow students who are specially trained) as well as by academic advisors who are available during set hours.

REGISTRATION TIPS FOR STUDENTS:

  • If you are currently on Oahu, please drop by the First Year Advising Center so that we can explain your options.  If you are a transfer student, please bring your transfer credit evaluation with you if you have received it. 
  • If you are not on Oahu and won't be here until after you register, please call us at (808) 956-7273. Our main focus is walk-in advising, but we are doing our best to reply to calls as well. If you are unable to reach us, please go ahead and register as soon as you can and then drop by the FYAC as soon as you are able to do so so that we can review the courses you've selected and let you know if you need to make any adjustments to your schedule.
