The best thing about HPU is the small class sizes, which I love. The teachers are very good and open to listening to students’ ideas. Additionally, they are very understanding and encourage many interesting class discussions. Most universities don’t offer this kind of relaxed environment where discussions are possible. For example, I went to a university back home for one year and there were 200 people in each class! I feel that I am learning more here at HPU.
Change of Address
Moving?
International Students MUST notify United States Immigration AND Hawai`i Pacific University of address changes within ten (10) days of a move/address update. This is requried throughout your course of study and during Optional Practical Training (OPT).
How to NotifyTo inform about your address change, simply update your address on your Campus Pipeline account. You can also speak to the Registrar or an International Student Advisor in person. When this change is made to your university "mailing address", the new address will be sent via batch to the Department of Homeland Security. This will also update your I-20 information and your address in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System).
Name Updates
An official name change should be updated with both United States Immigration and Hawai`i Pacific University. International students with a change to their name should follow the above instructions for informing United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (AR-11 Process). To report name changes to the University, you must first inform the Registrar directly, who will make the change to your student record. Next, you must meet with an International Student Advisor to obtain a new I-20, reflecting the change in your name.
