There are plenty of options for people with lower GPAs. One of them is doing research - on your own, or with a school guidance counsellor - about universities that have lower standards. You can get a well-rounded, quality education at these schools, as you can still choose the courses than are most appropriate to you.
Another option is enrolling in a community college. After studying at one, a university will look at your CC grades rather than your high school GPA. In this way, it's possible to recover from a crash and burn high school experience.
As for the University of Hawaii, you'll need to phone them, look on their website, and request info about the school to be sent to you. Most universities do not only consider a GPA, but also your extra-curricular activities, the level of classes you took, and the difficulty of your high school. It's a complicated structure, and an adviser from the university would be able to help you.
Apply for that school if you feel you qualify, but make sure to apply to at least four other schools as well. That way you've always got a fallback choice if life throws you a curve.
Best of luck.

Im not sure about the University of Hawaii. But there are colleges all over that would accept that...There is even 1 college in California that only accepts C students so more and likely you will find a college that will accept you!
