Access to College Excellence (ACE) learning communities offer a combination of three general education courses and a small group, 1-credit integrating seminar (UNIV 110 - University Experience ). Courses are grouped to provide freshmen with an introduction to various academic perspectives while fulfilling graduation requirements. UNIV 110 is led by an upperclassman peer mentor who supports freshmen cohorts in their new learning environment. Successful college students themselves, peer mentors assist with the development of successful academic strategies, creation of social and interpersonal networks, and involvement in a variety of campus events. ACE espouses a well-rounded, multifaceted approach to college education. Freshmen who are eager to learn, enthusiastic about making friends while increasing independence, and excited about getting involved will benefit from what ACE has to offer.

The Mānoa Peer Advisors (MPA) program provides peer advisors for advising offices throughout campus. The purpose of MPA is to increase students’ access to academic advising, provide role model representatives for UH Mānoa, and develop valuable leadership and advising skills for the MPAs. MPAs are selected each spring in a competitive application process and are trained intensively during Summer Session I on UH Mānoa General Education requirements, advising practices, the philosophy and techniques of advising, and the resources available to students. Upon successful completion of training, MPAs are matched with advising offices, where they provide advising to fellow students during the academic year.

Since academic advising plays an essential role in students’ success, New Student Advising is a cross-campus initiative that provides free workshops to connect incoming students to advising early. It provides students with an overview of how their requirements work, introduces them to academic resources on campus, and prepares them so that they can begin planning for their academic journey at Mānoa.
