Hello Pilot Families!
It's time to welcome our newest Pilots and celebrate the return of our sophomore, junior, and senior Pilots back to The Bluff! Whether you're the parent, grandparent, guardian, or valued person of support, we are privileged to partner alongside you during your student's time at UP.
Here's the helpful UP Packing Checklist for on-campus students. Fall semester classes begin on Monday, August 28. Please note that classes will be held on Labor Day, Monday, September 4.
For our Hawai'i families, especially those impacted by the devastating fires on Maui, please know that the entire UP community continues to keep you in our prayers as you navigate this challenging time.
In partnership,

Is that Meal Plan going to Work?

Choosing the right Meal Plan can be tricky, so UP's food service provider, Bon Appetit, provides a spending chart every semester as a guideline for estimating how far a meal plan can go. Students may change their Meal Plan level in their eRezLife account until September 8.
