Starting Your
Pre-business Journey at UHM:
Registering for your 1st semester!

As Exploratory Business/pre-business, in general, you complete Pre-Business Core coursework and most of your general education and graduation requirements in your first two years, then start on your business coursework and any remaining graduation requirements in your last two years. (You'll apply to the business major at the end of sophomore year, and start taking business classes in your third year). This website is only about your first semester.

You should watch the entire new-student advising series eventually (you can skip the transfer transcript one and the ACE one): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl1F624GYrRgJ0tElySgfyJ9UUJ6kbivN

But the ones especially relevant for registration on May 27 are:

• Your Degree Requirements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ2kQQ_1Io8

• Course Planning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehRRNiOLEgw

• STAR GPS Registration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyHAv3mWzpE

DAP students should pick the major "General Business" in What If Journey if itʻs not there yet in the upper right

Non-DAP first years should check that their major in STAR is "Exploratory Business"

Then just follow the 4 steps in the top menu:

1. Set up your UH account

2. Select classes

3. Register

4. Complete your summer assignments

This site is a beta distillation of material from the UHM General Education site and Shidlerʻs Catalog site as an attempt to give only those parts most relevant to an incoming first-year student.

This site is NOT a guide to an entire 4-year plan and does not cover every situation or rule. It is just to get a new first-year student some initial information enough to make good choices for their fall semester.

It will not replace the semesterly meeting you should have with an academic advisor, nor does it replace the materials in the UHM Catalog.
