Academic Regulations - Admissions
4. Submit a required health clearance documentation (see additional instructions under Health Requirements for Admissions on the next page under Foreign non-immigrant students). 5. Submit evidence of ability to pay all expenses either personally or through a sponsor. 6. Submit their high school transcripts (and college transcripts if applicable) directly to the College. A complete and certified English translation of secondary school and college records should be submitted along with official transcripts. 7. Submit evidence of enrollment in a health and accident insurance plan prior to registration. Enrollment in such a plan must be for the duration of the student’s stay in Hawai‘i. Choice of plans is left to the discretion of the student. The Student Health Office has descriptive literature on several plans, and students may choose one that meets their needs. Health and accident insurance is mandatory. All documents and application materials must be received by the deadline for the appropriate semester. International students will be sent an official notice of acceptance and Form I-20 in the mail. International students will be accepted into a particular degree program that has been identified as being an open program for international students. Each semester, all Honolulu CC programs will be evaluated for space availability and course offerings to ensure that international students with appropriate prerequisites will be able to obtain entrance into required courses. All international students must carry an academic credit load of at least twelve (12) credits per semester. These 12 credits must be required in the student’s program. Students will be allotted an appropriate amount of time to complete their degree requirements based on the number of credits in their degree program.
Early Admission Applicants under 18 years of age are encouraged to provide evidence of a high school diploma or equivalent as recognized by the Hawai‘i State Department of Education, including successful completion of the GED. Applicants under the age of 18, without the equivalent of a high school diploma/GED may be considered for admission as an Early Admit Student. Early Admit students may enroll as unclassified students and take Honolulu CC courses approved by their Honolulu CC Counselor. Early Admit students must reapply each semester and admission is limited to Honolulu Community College courses.
