Foundations: Course & "Program" Articulation

 

"Program" Articulation: Multicampus agreement

A Foundations agreement was signed by three UH campuses in 2004.

Course Articulation

Campuses not participating in the multicampus agreement can request that a course transfer to UHM as satisfying a UHM Foundations requirement by completing and submitting the proposal form.

Transfer credit review process

External transfer students* have their official college transcript(s) sent to UHM Admissions & Records Office for review. External courses that have already been reviewed are posted on the Admissions & Records Transfer Credit Search Database. If the external course is equivalent to a UHM course that satisfies a UHM Foundations requirement, the student has met that requirement. After receiving the results of the transcript review, the student consults a UHM advisor because GenEd requirements vary depending on the student's year of entry.

Advisors of system-transfer students* can refer to the resources below. The student informs UHM that he or she has completed courses in the UH system. Then, the Admissions & Records Office reviews the transcript and sends the results to the student. After receiving the results, the student is strongly encouraged to consult a UHM college advisor because requirements vary depending on the year of entry to a UH campus and credits accepted by UHM.

NOTE: Students who transfer to UHM with an AA degree from a UH campus have met all of their UHM Foundations and Diversification requirements (i.e., "Core" requirements). They still need to complete General Education Graduation requirements, college requirements, and major requirements to graduate.
