Registration-selecting classes.

To register for classes, you must first submit a System Application Form (see How do I apply for admission?) to the Admissions and Records Office. When you are accepted for admission, you will given information on how to register for classes. Registration is done via the internet. Your registration is not complete until you have paid for all applicable tuition and fees.

To apply for admission to the College, you must submit a completed System Application Form to the Admissions and Records Office. There is a $25 non-refundable application fee for non-residents (excluding members of the US Armed Forces, and their authorized dependents, who qualify for the military exemption). Application deadlines are as follows:

Spring semester –December 1
Summer semester –refer to the Schedule of Courses

To qualify for admission to the College, you must be 18 years of age by the first day of instruction, a high school graduate or have received a General Education Diploma (GED).

Transcripts from previously attended post-high school institutions are not required for admission purposes. Evaluating previous college credits is optional unless you are planning to apply for financial aid or Veterans Administration benefits.

Each applicant is advised that disclosure of his/her Social Security Number (SSN) is required as a condition for making application. SSN will be used to verify the identity of the applicant. For more information, see the Notice to Applicants for Admission section in the application instructions.

In efforts to protect your SSN, you will be assigned a student identification number. You will be informed of your student identification number in your acceptance letter. This number will be used in place of you SSN on class rosters and can be used as identification purposes within the University of Hawaii system.

Residency status is determined at the point of application submission. You will be notified of your residency status in your acceptance letter. This determination is for tuition purposes only and will determine the rate of tuition that you will be charged.

For more information about rules and regulations governing the determination of residency status, see the Rules and Regulations Governing Determination of Residency as Applied to Tuition Payments and Admission at All Institutions Under the Jurisdiction of the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii
and
Questions and Answers About the University of Hawaii’s Residency Requirements for Tuition Purposes.

The State Department of Health requires all students to be cleared of tuberculosis and provide proof of immunity to measles (rubeola). TB and MMR documentation is not required for admission to the College but must be submitted before you can register for courses.

The tuberculosis clearance must not be dated earlier than 12 months prior to the first day of instruction. Proof of measles immunization can be either a record of two MMR shots or a positive result of a blood test (titer). Applicants who were born before 1957, do not need to provide proof of measles immunizations.

You will either receive a request for more information or a letter of acceptance. Included in your acceptance letter will be information on orientation, placement testing and registration.

When a student is accepted for admission to a campus within the University of Hawaii system, that campus becomes their home campus/institution. This is usually the campus where the student is pursuing a degree of study. And, it is where they may apply for financial aid or Veterans Administration benefits.

To change home institutions, you must submit a completed Change of Home Institution Form to the Admissions/Records Office of the institution you want to designate as your new home.
