Hawaii Medical College may accept credits transferred from accredited institutions recognized by the Federal Department of Education. Only courses passed with 3.0 / B or better and taken within the last five (5) years will be considered for other outside educational institutions. Students requesting credit transfers from outside educational institutions are required to submit a completed Transfer of Credit Request Form along with a copy of the syllabus/course description for the applicable courses to the Director of Education. The transcripts and outline will be reviewed to determine whether at least 75% of the course content is comparable. If determined to be comparable, the class is transferred, and the student will not have to take that course at HMC, and the credits will apply to those required to complete the program.
For prior HMC students, the HMC classes will be accepted if taken within the last 10 years with a C or better grade. The classes will automatically be transferred into their new enrollment.
There is a 50% program residency requirement for all courses transferred. That is, a maximum of 50% courses can be transferred (50% of courses completed towards diploma must be Hawaii Medical College courses). *No charges will apply to transfer of credit courses
Students wishing to request the transfer of credit must complete and submit the Transfer of Credit Form to the appropriate Director of Education (Campus Live or IDL) at least one (1) week prior to the module in which the course is offered.
