Undergraduate Excess Credits
Undergraduate seniors at UHM may earn credits toward master's
degrees for certain courses completed during the final two
semesters of their undergraduate study, provided that the
credits are in excess of the bachelor's degree requirements.
To earn such credits, submit a petition to the Graduate Records
Office.
Note the following policies:
| Deadline for Petition
Submission |
Submit the petition during
the registration period for the credits intended for submission
toward a master's degree. |
| Acceptable Credits |
Credits earned for courses
numbered 300-400 or 600-700 may be submitted for consideration.
Credits earned for directed reading/research (399 or 499)
are normally not considered. |
| Acceptance of Credits |
Final acceptance of the credits
is determined by the graduate program to which the student
is subsequently admitted. Approval by the Graduate Division
does not guarantee that the credits will be accepted by
a prospective graduate program. |
| Special Requirement |
The student needs to complete
the bachelor's degree as indicated on the petition. Failure
to do so nullifies any petition approval granted by the
Graduate Division. |
