INTRODUCTION The University of Hawai‘i is comprised of ten campuses located on four islands in the state of Hawai‘i. While each campus in the University has a unique identity and mission, the ten campuses operate as one integrated system. Faculty and administrators have worked together to develop an articulated curriculum designed to allow students to transfer from one campus to another. Many students start by taking classes on a campus close to home and then later transfer to another campus, perhaps on a different island. The process of transferring from one campus to another and meeting all the requirements for graduation can be confusing. This publication is intended to help students through the University of Hawai‘i system--one step at a time. The process can be divided into steps, described in more detail in this guide. A WORD ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I The University of Hawai‘i's seven community colleges award certificates and associate degrees and three campuses award baccalaureate degrees. Two of the three University campuses are in turn made up of different schools and colleges. For example, UH Hilo is comprised of three degree-granting colleges: the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management, the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Hawaiian Language. UH Mānoa has 18 degree-granting schools and colleges, some of which offer graduate programs. Furthermore, many schools and colleges within a University are themselves made up of several departments which offer different undergraduate majors. UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I CATALOG STATEMENT ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE IN FULFILLMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS AT ALL UH CAMPUSES Effective fall 1994, students who have earned an articulated Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a University of Hawai‘i Community College shall be accepted as having fulfilled the general education core requirements at all other University of Hawai‘i campuses. While an articulated AA degree satisfies general education core requirements, students must also complete all specialized lower-division, major, college and degree/graduation requirements. Additional campus-specific requirements, such as competency in a foreign language or writing-intensive courses may also be required. With planning, most, if not all, of these requirements may be incorporated into the Associate in Arts degree; if not, they are required in addition to the Associate in Arts degree.

OTHER ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS Additional systemwide articulation agreements exist in the following areas. See your counselor for further information: 1. Art 2. Mathematics 3. Nursing SYSTEM-WIDE CONVENTIONS - UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I The overall purpose of these definitions is to provide standardized, system-wide terms and definitions to minimize disparity and the resulting confusion in catalogs, advising sheets, articulation policies and documents, and any system-wide policies and directives relating to issues of transfer, articulation, and requirements for degrees. For these purposes, all baccalaureate granting institutions (the University of Hawai‘i campuses of Mānoa, Hilo, and West O‘ahu) will be abbreviated as BC, for Baccalaureate Campus, and all the UH Community Colleges will be abbreviated CC. Graduation Requirements: This is the broadest, most inclusive term; it includes any and all requirements for any degree at any BC or CC campus. It includes not only "degree requirements" (as defined below), but other requirements which may apply, e.g., residence requirements and applying for the degree and paying the required graduation fee by the applicable deadline. General Education Core Requirements: These are campus-wide requirements which provide students with a breadth of knowledge associated with the tradition of a liberal education. This covers the BC General Education requirements of "Basic Skills and Understanding" and "Area Requirements," and the General Education requirements for the CC Associate in Arts degree. The term "General Education Core Requirements "may be shortened to "Core," but should refer exclusively to these requirements. A campus' General Education Core Requirements may be modified or adjusted in its application by individual colleges, schools, or programs on that campus. (See "College/School/Program Requirements" below.) Degree Requirements: A "Degree" is an academic credential awarded in accordance with Board of Regents' approval and consists of the components of General Education Core Requirements; College/School/Program Requirements; Major Requirements; Electives, if any; and additional degree requirements. "Additional degree requirements" include items such as total credit requirements, minimum overall cumulative Grade Point Ratio (GPR), minimum GPR or grades for courses applied to the "major requirements," and other related requirements such as writing-intensive and foreign language requirements. College/School/Program Requirements: These are requirements deemed essential to the curriculum/ curricula offered by, and the academic preparation of students enrolled within a specific college, school, or program. "College/School/Program Requirements" may either (1) modify or adjust the application of the campus' General Education Core Requirements (e.g., by requiring specific courses within a Core category or subcategory to be completed) or (2) constitute specific requirements which are in addition to and not part of the campus' General Education Core Requirements. Major Requirements: These are the specific requirements within a specific field of study or academic specialization usually offered through a BC academic department or discipline or a CC discipline or department. They are intended to provide students with depth of knowledge and skills in a specific coherent field of study or discipline. A major may include a narrower, more specialized focus which may be referred to as "area of specialization or emphasis," "option within a major," or "track." At UH-West O‘ahu, these are termed "Areas of Concentration."

- 4 -

In some colleges, courses specific to a program are aggregated and listed as "pre-programmatic" (e.g., "pre-Education”). These should not be considered as or confused with majors. Minor: An academic minor provides formal recognition of student attainment of knowledge or proficiency in a field other than that of the academic major. Although the depth or breadth of such knowledge is not as great as that found in an academic major, the academic minor certifies a minimal level that is acceptable to the academic discipline involved. Electives: Additional courses or credits, whether restricted or unrestricted, which may be applied to meet the total credit requirements for a degree. Electives may be used to complement the major or to enhance breadth and diversity in total coursework. Unit: This term refers to the four major components of the University of Hawai‘i system. They are the UH Community Colleges, UH Hilo, UH Mānoa, and UH-West O‘ahu. Campus: Under the four major units, there are 10 campuses of the University of Hawai‘i system. They are as follows:

UH Community Colleges campuses (7) • Hawai‘i Community College • Honolulu Community College • Kapi‘olani Community College • Kaua‘i Community College • Leeward Community College • Maui Community College • Windward Community College

UH Hilo campus (1) UH Mānoa campus (1) UH-West O‘ahu campus (1) Colleges, schools, departments and other UH educational service providers: These terms refer to educational providers organizationally linked to the major units. Examples of such entities are the Employment Training Center within the UH Community Colleges; the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management or the College of Arts and Sciences within UH Hilo; and the School of Accountancy and the Department of Journalism at UH Mānoa. STEPS FOR STUDENT TRANSFER Choosing the Transfer Route Many students within the University of Hawai‘i transfer or move from one campus to another. In Fall 1994, over 2,900 students transferred within the University system. This included students going from community colleges to baccalaureate campuses; students transferring from baccalaureate campuses to community college campuses; students moving from one community college to another, and students transferring from one baccalaureate campus to another. University policy permits students who did not meet freshman admission requirements at a baccalaureate campus to transfer after they have successfully completed 24 or more baccalaureate level credits (numbered 100 to 499) with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher. Students transferring to UH West O‘ahu should complete the requirements for the Associate in Arts or a minimum of 55 credits in courses numbered 100+ before transferring (see Appendix A for details).

- 5 -

Easing the Transfer Process It is a University priority to improve the ease with which students may transfer from campus to campus in pursuit of their educational goals. In recent years, administrators and faculty members throughout the University system have worked hard to articulate their programs and to eliminate barriers to student transfer. During the past several years, more than 100 faculty from throughout the University have reviewed material for almost 2,000 courses to determine their applicability in meeting degree requirements. This process has resulted in the establishment of a listing of articulated courses (this handbook) which may be used to meet the general education "core" requirements for Associate in Arts or baccalaureate level degrees at any UH campus. An articulated course is one that has been accepted or approved by the receiving campus as meeting specific degree requirements. For example, History 151 an articulated course taken at Kapi‘olani Community College will transfer and meet the applicable general education core requirement at UH Mānoa. For a list of articulated courses, refer to Appendix B. STEP 1. WORKING TO COMPLETE THE GENERAL EDUCATION CORE REQUIREMENTS All courses offered within the University of Hawai‘i numbered 100 to 499 are transferrable from one campus to another provided they do not violate a basic campus policy or degree requirement. However, only selected courses may be used to meet general education core requirements, program prerequisites or major requirements; all other courses may be used as electives. Since the campuses (and colleges within a campus) may have different general education core requirements, working to complete the general education core requirements and choosing a major go hand-in-hand. Every undergraduate degree granted by the University of Hawai‘i requires course work in a general education core (see Appendix A). The core, as it is often called, consists of courses in specified liberal arts and related areas (e.g., written communication). These requirements are intended to help the student become a broadly educated person with the skills for continuing self-education. The core requirements, which vary from campus to campus, define the type and number of courses that are required in various areas of study. Core Requirements on Different Campuses UH Hilo and UH Mānoa each have their own core requirements for baccalaureate degrees. In addition, the community colleges' Associate in Arts (AA) degree requirements differ from campus to campus. However, a student currently completing and receiving an AA degree at a community college will meet all of the requirements for the general education core at a UH baccalaureate campus. Students may need to meet specialized core requirements of the various colleges of the baccalaureate campus. If a student does not complete an AA degree, courses for core will be considered on a course-by-course basis. Since each campus has its own core requirements, students who transfer must meet the core requirements for that campus which awards the degree they intend to obtain. Students contemplating a transfer should therefore plan carefully. Refer to Appendix A or the latest campus catalog for current core requirements, and always check with a counselor for the most updated and accurate information when dealing with program and graduation requirements. Flexibility in Selecting Core Courses Although the general education core was designed to give students flexibility to choose from a variety of courses, some programs require students to take specific courses to fulfill general education core requirements and/or a lower-division school or college requirement. For example, UH Mānoa requires three courses in arts and humanities. In most cases, students are free to take any three courses in the arts and humanities from the list of approved core courses, each being from a different department. However, instead of leaving the selection of humanities courses totally up to the student, the College of Engineering at UH Mānoa requires its majors to take a Speech course (Speech 251) to meet part of the

- 6 -

humanities core requirement. Therefore, when selecting courses to fulfill the general education core requirements, students should consult an adviser from their intended department or college or refer to a current catalog. Options in Completing the Core Requirements Students may:

• complete all core courses and earn a degree at the same campus; • complete all core courses at a community college, UH Hilo, or UH Mānoa, then transfer to another campus to

complete the remaining degree requirements, including requirements for the major and electives; or • begin work on the core courses on one campus, but complete them on another campus.

Students are advised to check the core requirements at the campus to which they plan to transfer. Many programs allow students to complete the core requirements anytime before graduation. However, some programs, especially those that admit students with junior standing (e.g., the School of Social Work and the College of Education at UH Mānoa), expect students to have completed all or most of the core before being admitted to work on the major and remaining degree requirements (students should check with their academic advisor). STEP 2. WORKING TO COMPLETE OTHER REQUIREMENTS Changes in Graduation Requirements Students who have taken courses at more than one campus in the university system are required to fulfill the graduation requirements that were in effect when they first enrolled at a University of Hawai‘i campus as degree- or certificate-seeking students, provided they were continuously registered on a campus in the system. A student transferring from one campus to another without missing a semester is considered to be a continuing student. Community college students in the Liberal Arts program who maintain continuous registration must meet the baccalaureate general education core requirements in place when they are first enrolled as a Liberal Arts major. However, if graduation requirements change after initial enrollment, students have the option of either fulfilling the new core requirements or following the ones that were in effect when they first enrolled. Writing-Intensive Courses Since writing helps students both to learn and to communicate, most campuses in the university system require completion of a specified number of writing-intensive (WI) courses (which are identified by a WI code in the semester schedule of classes) prior to graduation. All campuses offer writing-intensive classes in which instructors work with students on writing related to course content. Writing-intensive requirements for each campus are listed in Appendix A. Each campus requiring writing-intensive courses will accept for transfer, as writing intensive, all writing- intensive courses that are part of a campus program approved by the UH systemwide writing committee. Degree Requirement Sheets Degree requirement sheets (also called "advising sheets") have been prepared by most schools and colleges to help students keep track of courses needed and those already completed. Students should obtain a requirement sheet for their degree or program to help them select courses for each semester. These sheets can be obtained from the department or from the counseling/advising office on campus.

STEP 3. CHOOSING A CAMPUS The university system offers a wide range of undergraduate majors leading to certificates, associate degrees, and bachelor's degrees. The selection of a major and a campus at which it is offered depends on the student's personal and professional goals and individual circumstances. Undergraduate majors available on each campus are listed in How to Enroll in the University of Hawai‘i, a pamphlet normally distributed with the University of Hawai‘i Common Application Form. Note that not all majors are available at every campus. STEP 4. TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I CAMPUS Students often transfer from a community college to a four-year college. Students also frequently transfer from four-year colleges to community colleges, from one community college to another, or from one four-year college to another. Students who are planning to transfer should consult the catalog of the campus in which they are interested and work closely with an adviser to ensure that the courses they take will fulfill the requirements of the program into which they plan to transfer. Transferring From One Campus to Another Students attending a campus other than the one they plan to graduate from must apply for admission to the second campus, and in some cases to a specific school or college on that campus at the same time. Most schools and colleges that do not accept students until the junior year require that a separate application form be submitted. General transfer policies and procedures are summarized in Table 1 on page 6. Students transferring from one campus to another without missing a semester are considered continuing students. They may elect to fulfill the general education core requirements that were in effect at the time they were first enrolled as degree- or certificate-seeking students, or they may elect to choose core requirements modified by the campus subsequent to admission. Articulated courses from one campus will transfer to another and meet specified requirements (e.g., core requirements). Courses that have not been articulated and have not been denied for core (see Appendix C) may be evaluated on a course-by-course basis or may be accepted as an elective.

Transfers with fewer than 24 credits must meet the requirements established for freshmen. Transfers with 24 or more credits: cumulative GPA of 2.0 for residents; 2.5 for non-residents .

Completion of 55 credits of transferable lower-division courses with a GPA of 2.0 or higher; and/or an AA degree earned from a community college with a GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Graduate of high school or 18 years old with no specified credit requirements. Specific occupational programs, however, may have additional admission requirements or prerequisites.

Transfer of Writing-Intensive Courses

Each campus requiring writing-intensive (WI) courses will accept for transfer all writing- intensive courses that are part of a campus program approved by the UH systemwide writing committee. Such courses currently exist at all campuses.

Transfer of GPA

GPAs are not transferable between campuses, but can be used as an admission criterion for some programs. A separate GPA is calculated at each campus attended.

Transfer of Credits

Credits earned with a grade of "D" or higher are transferable if earned within the system; a grade of "C" or higher is required from outside the system. A maximum of 90 transfer credits may apply toward a bachelor's degree.

Credits earned with a grade of "D" or higher are transferable if earned within the system; a grade of "C" or higher is required from outside the system. An unlimited number of credits will transfer from other campuses within the system, although they may not all apply toward degree requirements. Students must earn a minimum of 30 credit hours in residence at UH Mānoa. Meeting the residence requirement does not necessarily mean that all degree requirements have been met; the latter are determined by the individual schools and colleges. No more than 60 credits from non-UH system junior or community colleges will satisfy degree requirements.

Credits earned with a grade of "D" or higher are transferable if earned within the system and within 10 years. Credits earned with a grade of "C" or higher are transferable if earned outside the system. Students with an AA degree will be accepted as having completed the lower-division general education requirements. Students without an AA degree will be required to meet lower-division general education requirements as specified in the UH-West O‘ahu catalog. A maximum of 90 transfer credits may apply toward a bachelor's degree. Of this number, a maximum of 65 may be lower-division credits.

May vary; check the campus catalog or with the counseling office. Credits earned with a grade of "D" or higher are transferable if earned within the system; a grade of "C" or higher is required from outside the system. Although courses completed with a grade of "D" will transfer, the "D" may not meet prerequisites for some courses.

Specific Transfer Admission Information

UH Hilo

Both the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Agriculture at UH Hilo use the same admission criteria.

The Education, Nursing, and Liberal Studies programs at UH Hilo have additional admission requirements beyond those established for the campus. These requirements are detailed in Table 2 below. Contact the admissions office for more information.

UH Mānoa

Many schools and colleges on the UH Mānoa campus do not admit students until the junior level. For these, each applicant goes through a two-step process of first meeting the general admission criteria for the UH Mānoa campus and then the admission criteria for a particular school or college. Transfer admission requirements for specific schools and colleges at UH Mānoa are shown in Table 3 on page 8. For some schools and colleges, admission criteria differ depending on whether students enter as freshmen, or with junior or higher standing. Table 3 lists admission criteria for UH Mānoa schools and colleges that admit students at junior standing or higher (except as noted).

Appeal of Transfer Decisions All students are entitled to appeal a transfer decision made by a school, college, or campus. Appeal procedures, which differ among campuses, may be obtained from the admissions office or the office of the dean of students on the appropriate campus.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ARTICULATION AND TRANSFER Q. What is the status of those courses which have been previously articulated into the

general education core but which, as a result of the review conducted under this policy, will no longer articulate?

A. Such courses continue to be accepted as general education core requirements if taken by

the student within the dates specified in the articulation listing. Q. What is the status of courses, not previously articulated, which, as a result of the

review conducted under the new articulation policy, now may be used to meet general education core requirements?

A. All courses approved for inclusion in the most recent edition of the Student Transfer

Handbook: University of Hawai‘i System, Appendix B, will be accepted as meeting general education core requirements for students enrolled in these courses beginning in the semester and year noted .

Q. What is the status of courses which have not completed the review process by the

time that the Handbook is published? A. All courses will maintain their current status until they have completed the review and

approval process. If a course was previously designated as meeting general education core requirements, it will continue to do so until the Handbook indicates otherwise. If the course had not previously been designated as meeting general education core requirements, it will not be considered as articulated until the review and approval process is completed and it is listed in the Handbook.

Q. What if I have a break in continuous enrollment (e.g., of one semester) either before

or after enrolling at the UH campus from which I plan to earn a bachelor's degree, and I need an answer as to which year's core, degree, or major requirements I am required to follow? Who or what office should I contact?

A. Seek help first from a counselor or academic advisor at the campus in which you are

currently enrolled. An official answer to the question may only be given by the baccalaureate college or program from which you intend to earn your bachelor's degree. However, a counselor on your current campus should be able to provide you with useful information and to direct you to the specific office or to a specific person at the baccalaureate college or program from which you will earn your bachelor's degree.

- 13 -

Q. I have transferred into a baccalaureate program at one of the campuses in the UH System. I am having problems with the baccalaureate campus accepting and applying my transfer credits to meet core, degree or major requirements. How can I resolve this problem?

A. Try to get the problems or questions resolved first with the advising or student academic

services office of the baccalaureate college or program into which you have transferred. If necessary, make an appointment with the head of that office.

Q. I have taken baccalaureate level courses that do not appear on the articulation list,

or that I took before or after the dates shown. Can such courses count towards core at another campus?

A. Generally, the answer is yes. More specifically, if a course has not been specifically

rejected (see Appendix B), the receiving campus should consider the course separately if requested to do so.

Q. Is there an advantage to completing an associate in arts degree from a UH

Community College? A. Yes. If you earn an AA degree and then transfer to a baccalaureate campus in the UH

System, you automatically fulfill its general education core requirements. However, you must still complete all specialized lower division major, college, and degree/graduation requirements. If you have not earned an AA degree, your courses will be reviewed on a course by course basis using the information from the course listings in this Handbook.

Q. Is there an articulation agreement for major courses beyond the core? A. Such agreements are being discussed for a variety of majors. Currently there exist

articulation agreements for major coursework in Nursing and Art (see a department advisor for the most recent agreement).
