Updated May 4, 2020:
In response to the challenges presented by COVID-19, Hawai'i Community College has moved classes online for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester. Hawai'i Community College is closed to the general public at this time, but still open to students and employees essential in supporting our delivery of online classes.
For students who are affected by these changes, please stay in close communication with your instructors.
UH System has established an email address, covid19@hawaii.edu, where questions related to COVID-19 impacts on the college and university can be sent.
