You may download an application from the University of Hawaii system page . All students are required to have current HawCC placement test scores or the equivalent. There are course prerequisites and placement levels of reading, writing and math that are required in order to meet the demands of classroom learning. Once you take placement tests, your English scores are retained permanently, but math tests must be retaken after two years. See a counselor if you have taken college classes elsewhere or if you already have a college degree to determine if you have equivalencies or need to take the placement tests.
Testing is by appointment.
All New, Returning, and Transfer students are to meet with a faculty advisor or counselor at least one hour prior to registering for advice on course selections and program requirements. If you are in Liberal Arts, Early Childhood Education, Administration of Justice, or Human Services, you will be advised by the Liberal Arts or Applied Social Sciences faculty. Unclassified students will be advised by the Counseling staff. During regular registration in Hilo, faculty and counselors will be available at the Manono Campus. In West Hawaii, faculty advisors will be available to assist you.
