DETAILS ABOUT UH TRANSFER DAY AT HAWAI‘I CC
The event will happen in and around Kaneikeao (Building 379) on the Manono campus.
>>>Get “auto-admitted” on the spot
Students graduating from any of the University of Hawaiʻi’s seven community colleges with an A.A. degree or selected A.S. degrees will be notified that they may be eligible for automatic admission to UH Mānoa, UH Hilo, or UH West O‘ahu. Under automatic admission, the application fee is waived, priority registration provided, and student transcripts analyzed to help identify likely majors. If you are a student who received an auto admissions notice on February 1, you can talk to admissions representatives from the four-year campuses at UH Transfer Day, and when you’re ready to select your campus, they can help you complete it. Also, if they need transcripts from a non-UH campus you attended previously, we will help you make that request.
>>>Food and Fun!
Complete a UH Transfer Day Passport and get a taco at no charge! (Available for first 300 students from 11a.m.-1:30 p.m.). Giveaways! Take a selfie at the selfie station and share your future plans with the world!

“Distance Learning: The Inside Scoop”

Carrie Kuwada Phipps, Education Specialist at University Center, West Hawai‘i, will lead a workshop that gives you the inside scoop on what programs are available and what you need to know to be a successful distance learning student.
