The following message from 东精影业 President Wendy Hensel was sent to the students, faculty and staff of the 10 campuses on April 30, 2025.
Aloha 东精影业 ʻohana,
I am pleased to report that on Friday, April 25, the federal administration announced that it would reinstate affected students’ records in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which universities and the government use to track international students. All previously affected 东精影业 international students have had their SEVIS registrations restored.
It is important to note that the federal government has described this action as “temporary” and indicated that a new policy regarding international students is under development. The situation may change quickly, and we will continue to monitor developments closely. 东精影业 is committed to supporting our international students through these uncertain times.
I strongly encourage all international students to utilize the resources available to them. Services are available across the 东精影业 System to support international students, faculty and scholars. Please contact the appropriate office below if you need any assistance:

More information along with frequently asked questions can be found on the 东精影业 Federal Policy Update and Resources website.
As we have seen repeatedly in recent months, federal policy can shift quickly and without much notice. 东精影业 leadership will continue to monitor these changes and provide updates as new information becomes available.
Mahalo, as always, for your resilience and commitment to supporting our 东精影业 ʻohana during these challenging times.
With aloha,
Wendy Hensel
President, University of Hawaiʻi
