After doing some research on the different schools on the island, I found that HPU has the best program for my field of study.
Getting started
Congratulations and welcome to Hawai’i Pacific University! Please take a moment to review this information prior to registration. If you have questions, contact our main number at (808) 543-8034.
STEP 1: Adhere to State Health Requirements
The state of Hawaii requires all students enrolling at the University to provide proof of (measles) MMR immunization (two doses) and a valid Tuberculin (T.B.) clearance, to HPU by the time of enrollment. TB tests must be taken within the last year and in the United States. Students attending HPU are strongly encouraged to have health insurance. For more information about approved health plans, contact our Center’s Registration staff at (808) 544-0279.
International students should click the link below to review information about additional health requirements.

STEP 2: Explore Campus Pipeline
HPU’s Pipeline is a secure intranet connecting users to personalized content and services and providing access to e-mail, and other links. New students will receive their Pipeline login information with their acceptance packet. The login page can be accessed at http://campus.hpu.edu.
If you have problems logging on, contact the ITS Help Desk at (808) 566-2411.
STEP 3: Pay Your Registration Deposit
New Students
As a new student to HPU, you will receive an Intent to Enroll form in your acceptance packet. Please mail your form in with a $200 registration deposit. The registration deposit is required for all new students regardless if they are receiving financial aid or a scholarship award. Once you complete your financial aid forms, your HPU Pipeline e-mail account will be sent an Estimated Financial Aid Award Letter. This letter will tell you how to accept your financial aid award. Note: Deposit is non-refundable after May 1st for Fall/Summer terms and after December 1st for Winter/Spring terms.
Continuing Students on Financial Aid
Continuing students who have been awarded and have accepted their financial aid award for the fall or spring semester will not need to pay the deposit. If you receive additional scholarships, please be sure to contact the Financial Aid Office.
All Other Students
If you are not receiving financial aid or a scholarship award, a $200 non-refundable registration deposit is required. This deposit will apply as the first payment toward your tuition and fees. The remainder of your tuition will be due on the Friday before classes start.
You can pay the deposit by credit card or from a checking/savings account through HPU Pipeline. Under “My Quick Links”, select “eBill”, and then “Pay Bill”. Indicate the term you want the payment to apply to. Within 24 hours, you should receive an e-mail message indicating your account will be available for registration on a certain day at a specific time. If you prefer to pay by phone, you may call 808-544-0279.
If you would like assistance paying for your education expenses, we encourage you to access Tuition Management Systems at www.afford.com or call toll free: 1-888-713-7234.
STEP 4: Review Your Degree Requirements
Within each program, there are courses and pre-requisites that define the degree requirements. You will want to write down the pre-requisite(s) for the courses you need to take. To determine the degree requirements for your program, click here, then select your program, and then select "Degree Requirements" from the right hand menu. You can click individual courses to view course pre-requisites. You can also check your Degree Plan to see which courses you have completed and which you still have pending. Your Degree Plan is your overall road map to graduation.
STEP 5: Design Your Success Through Academic Advising
Academic advisors assist students by facilitating communication between students, faculty and staff, and assist in degree planning.
STEP 6: Select Your Course Schedule
You can search sections and locations of classes via HPU’s website. Enter your query using the Course Schedule; for example, MGMT 1000 or another 1000-level course. Enter the term/semester and click “Search”. The next screen will list the available sections. Click the course title to show the Course, Course Code, Course Description, Pre-requisite(s), Course Reference Number (CRN), Location, Instructor’s Name, Time of Class, and other related information. In cases where there are more than one section, write down your preferred CRNs in the order of priority in preparation of registering online.
STEP 7: Register Online
After you’ve made a list of classes that you would like to attend, you’re ready to register online.
Students will be issued authorizations for web registration by email. Only students who have paid their early registration deposit, received financial aid, or been cleared to register will be issued a time ticket or invisible pass to register. Login to your Pipeline account, within the “My Quick Links” section select “Register Online” Select option six (6), enter your CRNs, and click “Submit for Changes”. You can view your Class Schedule by returning to the main menu, and selecting “Class Schedule”. Since the first day of classes usually begins on Tuesday, navigate to the second week to view your full schedule of courses.
If you receive an error message, copy and paste the message into an email to your primary academic advisor. Your academic advisor will contact you with instructions once the problem has been resolved. For more information view our Web Registration Procedures.
STEP 8: Visit the Adult Learner Programs Student On-Line Orientation Guide
