University of Hawai‘i Status of Accreditation
All ten campuses of the university system are separately and regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
a. The UH Community Colleges are accredited by the WASC Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC).
b. UH Manoa, UH Hilo, and UH West O‘ahu are accredited by the WASC Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities.
Regional accreditation means that, as the result of an external review process, the university is judged to be fulfilling its stated purposes and can be expected to continue to do so. Students and the public can be assured that University of Hawai‘i campuses have met standards of quality across the entire range of institutional activities. Regional accreditation is a basic criterion whereby U.S. higher education institutions accept transfer credit.
