NOTE TO MAJORS & INTENDED MAJORS: YOU ARE NOT A MAJOR UNTIL...
Please keep in mind that you must complete your Academic Proposal and have
it approved by both your ACM advisor and Interdisciplinary Studies Advisor
before you can be declared an ACM major. While some students have applied to
ACM and their application has been accepted, they have delayed taking the
next step of preparing the Academic Proposal with their ACM advisor, and
then having it approved by IS. Those students will have difficulty
registering for courses that are restricted to majors, as they won't have
been officially declared, or recognized, as ACM majors. So get that advising
done pronto. For new applicants to the major - the same advice for you: You
are not a major until your Academic Proposal has been approved by both your
ACM and IS Advisors. Without it, no advanced courses will be open to you.
MAKE A GIFT TO ACM
ACM welcomes donations to support our programs, which support our students.
You can make a gift online at www.uhf.hawaii.edu/acm.
