New Student Orientation (NSO) is designed to warmly welcome new haumāna into Nā Hale a Pauahi and help them begin building meaningful pilina with both staff and peers. Throughout the orientation experience, students are introduced to the essential expectations of Residential Life and guided through the spaces, routines, and people that shape their new home, helping to reduce anxiety and support a smooth transition. By the end of NSO, students will know their hale, become familiar with key staff members and fellow residents, understand core Residential Life expectations through RL 101, and have their uniforms and required materials in order. Most importantly, they will feel supported, welcomed, and confidently prepared for move‑in.
If you plan to be on O'ahu and would like to schedule a tour of campus, please schedule by clicking the link to the left.
Please note that the tours have limitations due to student safety priorities & resource availability. We will do our best to provide a tour that meets your needs and introduces you to our campus home. Please check the calendar linked to the left as more dates and times will be updated as it becomes available.
