Wai‘anae Moku G2FO Program

Did you know that most students who graduate, do not do so on time? And most stu­dents who go to college part-time don’t finish at all?  College is hard work and many students juggle multiple responsibilities while earning their degree.

G2FO (Going to Finish On-Time) is a program only offered at Leeward CC Waiʻanae for students who want to gradu­ate within 2-3 years with an Associate’s Degree. It offers academic, personal, and financial support for students who want to commit to full-time study in order to graduate on time.
