Testimonials

"Check what credits you need for your transfer program. You might be missing some credits that you could get before going to university. This helps you save money and avoid credit problems. If you're distance education, there might be some 100-200 level classes that you cannot take online. Take advantage of the automatic admission system. It's amazing, I had no fuss or problems with it. I just went through the steps, and I was a West Oahu student. I did not have to apply or write a cover letter. I'd advise you to talk to your counselor before transferring."

"Look into what classes and applications are needed for the degree you want to pursue. It will save a lot of time and money!"

"If students transfer to a 4-year UH institution, they should look into the majors they are interested in and refer to their respective program sheets. The program sheets clearly state what classes you need for a specific major, and most programs within a certain field require the same general credits. Meeting with an advisor about the program of interest also helps you feel more at ease. UH Mānoa's program sheets and meeting with the right counselors helped me figure out the classes I needed for my business degree. :)"

“Look at all your options and talk to those who are in/have completed the program you're interested in. There's many opportunities just within the UH system alone, whether online or in-person. Make sure you stay on top of any deadlines and information about your degree program. Check your email everyday -- they usually provide important information, which is almost all the time! If you have extra scholarship money, SAVE THEM for when you transfer. Any money saved will greatly help alleviate your financial struggles in the future. Get to know the faculty in your program and don't be afraid to ask for help and advocate for yourself.”
