Identification Card (HPU UniCard) Checks: All Hawai‘i Pacific University students are required to obtain, carry and keep updated a university-issued identification card, the HPU UniCard. To ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff, a campus security officer or university official may ask to see your current ID, and your HPU UniCard must be presented and/or surrendered.  Refusal to present your card may result in denial of access to the campus. Unauthorized use may warrant confiscation and/or disciplinary action through the Code of Student Conduct. Hawai‘i Pacific University has the right to prosecute any unauthorized person(s) who trespass or loiter on campus property. 

Safety and Recreational Activities on Campus: As a safety measure and to provide an environment conducive to living and learning, various recreational activities are not permitted. Mopeds, scooters, skateboards and bicycles are not to be used on any common area walkways between campus buildings, lanais or inside any building or lounge. Also, body-boarding/boogie-boarding, rollerblading and skateboarding on campus are prohibited and subject to disciplinary action.  In addition, Student Safety rules may apply from time to time to address life safety, health or emergency conditions. 

Liability: Hawai‘i Pacific University takes every reasonable precaution to maintain a safe campus environment. The university, however, assumes no responsibility for injuries that students sustain on university property, or at university-sponsored activities and events.
