If I am a University of Hawaiʻi student, can I take summer classes at a UH Community College campus?
Yes, students enrolled at a University of Hawaiʻi campus can take summer courses at any UH Community College campus. However, please check with your home campus counselor to ensure the credits will transfer toward your degree or certificate.
Is financial aid available for summer?
Yes, financial aid is available for summer but limited to Federal aid – Federal Pell Grant and Federal Direct Loans. Due to limitations on eligibility for these programs, not all students are eligible for financial assistance during the summer. Please view the Summer Financial Aid information page for more details about eligibility, steps to apply, enrollment, and disbursement.
How many credits should I take during my summer session?
It depends on your goals. One 3-credit class in 6 weeks is intense but manageable. Work with a counselor to create a plan.
How many credits do I need to take if I use Department of Defense (DOD) or Veteran Affairs (VA) education benefits?
The summer session is typically in 2 sessions. To receive full VA education benefits, students must be enrolled in at least 4 credits per summer session and take at least one in-classroom course. For DoD Military Tuition Assistance (TA), students must be enrolled in 4 or more credits per summer session to be considered full-time.
Please contact the Veterans Resource Center (VRC) for more information and any inquiries.
